THE SOCIAL CONTEXTS OF ETHNIC POLITICS

Ethnic Loyalties, Political Loyalties, and Social Support

University of Notre Dame

This article considers social status, neighborhood, and geographical independence explanations for the persistence of ethnic politics. The primary focus of this article is upon systems of social support underlying the cohesion of ethnic groups. Two different forms of social support—the neighborhood social context and the family—are considered relative to several political behaviors: Democratic identification, subjective ethnic identification, and support for an ethnic surnamed politician. The data base for the analysis is a survey of Buffalo, merged with contextual data for survey respondents.
