The Integration Paradox: Second-Generation Muslim in the United States
Mehdi Bozorgmehr, Professor at the Graduate Center, City University of New York
Doing research on Muslims in the United States faces the real challenges that the US Census does not collect data on religion, while the Muslim sample in surveys, such as the General Social
Survey, is often too small for meaningful analysis. Thus, there is little information available on the basic demographic characteristics of the children of Muslim immigrants. In his research with Eric Ketchman. Professor Mehdi Bozorgmehr shows how they overcame these obstacles. He also discusses the nature of integration or assimilation of these new Americans who are the children of Muslim immigrants.
