Ethnicity
It is the identity with a group of people who share cultural
traditions of a particular homeland or hearth.
Ethnicity comes from the Greek word ethnikos, which means
nation.

Race
It is the identity of a group of people who share a common
biological ancestor.
It comes from a middle French word for generation.

Ethnic/Racial Distribution in the US
There are distinct patterns of distribution for the ethnicities
in the US.
African Americans and Native Americans have a historical
reason (forced migration) for their distribution.
Asian Americans and Hispanic Americans have a different
historical reason (voluntary migration) for their distribution.

What draws people to where they live?
Or in other words, why do people
migrate?
PUSH Factors – factors from their homelands
PULL Factors – factors from their destination

African American Migration Patterns
There are historically three major patterns of African
Americans in US history.
Immigration from Africa because of the slave trade.
Migration from the south to northern cities during the first half
of the 20th century.
Migration from the inner cities to other neighborhoods in the
second half of the 20th century.
![Page 18: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Slave Trade
Could be the largest forced migration in World History.
Slavery was huge during the time of the Roman Empire, but
was replaced by feudalism during the middle ages.
Over 400,000 slaves were brought by the British between
1710 and 1808. Importation of slaves became illegal in
1808, but it still happened.
The process was known as the triangular slave trade.
Over 10 million Africans were displaced because of the slave
trade.
![Page 19: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Triangular Slave Trade

After the Civil War
Even though the 13th Amendment made slavery illegal and
slaves were granted their freedom, many remained in a state
of quasi-slavery.
Sharecropping is the system of slaves working the land and
giving some of the harvest back to the landowner as a form
of rent.

African Americans migrate
They tended to follow very distinct roads.
From the Carolinas through I-95 up to the Northeast
From Alabama through I-75 and I-77 to Detroit and Cleveland
From Mississippi to Chicago and St. Louis through I-55
From Texas to California through I-10 and I-20
Moved before and after WWI and before and after WWII.

African American Migration in the U.S., 20th century
Fig. 7-8: 20th century African American migration within the U.S. consisted mainly of
migration from the rural south to cities of the Northeast, Midwest, and West.

The Rise of Ghettos
African Americans like other immigrant before moved into
clustered neighborhoods.
Neighborhoods were named ghettos (same term as the
Jewish neighborhoods of the middle ages).
Densities were very high and led to poor living conditions.
![Page 27: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Ethnicity and Race
There are three primary minority ethnicities in the US.
African Americans
Asian Americans
Hispanic Americans
Black and African Americans are not the same, even though
they are grouped together.
Hispanic is not a race.
![Page 29: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Race traits
Race traits are passed on by genetics
Lactose intolerance affects Asian Americans, African Americans,
Native Americans and Hispanics at a much higher rate than
Whites.
Skin color is a genetic trait. This is the most important trait to
geographers.
![Page 30: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Biological Classification of race
This is very controversial.
Can lead to the justification of racism.

“Separate But Equal”
Plessy v. Ferguson established the legal doctrine
Brown v. Board of Education started to eliminate legal
segregation
These laws also targeted Catholics and Jews.

Segregation in the U.S.

White Flight in the US
After segregation became illegal, whites fled the situation.
Real estate people scared whites into selling homes cheap
because the black man would soon move in.
Whites would move to suburbs. Since schools had a physical
boundary, they maintained a very homogeneous population.
![Page 35: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
South Africa - Apartheid
Apartheid was the physical separation of races into different
geographical areas.
Babies were classified at birth as one of four races – white
(14%), black (75%), colored (9%) and Asian (3%).
Each had a different legal system.
Apartheid laws were finally removed in the 1990’s.
It will still take many years to truly dismantle the laws and
their effects on society.

Black “Homelands” in South Africa
Fig. 7-10: During the apartheid era, South Africa created a series of black “homelands” with the
expectation that every black would be a citizen of one of them. These were
abolished with the end of apartheid.

Rise of Nationalities
Many of the early immigrants that came to the United States
did not describe themselves by country, they described
themselves by ethnicity.
Ethnic groups have begun forming countries because of self
determination.
A nation-state is a state whose territory corresponds to that
occupied by a particular ethnicity that has become a nation
![Page 42: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Nation States in Europe
France became one of the first nations.
By 1900 most of Western Europe was made up of nation
states. Eastern Europe still had empires and nation states.
The conflict over borders between nation-states led to WWI.
After the war many boundaries were redrawn as nation states
by ethnicity.
WWII did not begin until the Germans invaded Poland, a
non German speaking country.

Nationalism
Nationalism is loyalty and devotion to a nationality.
Governments try to instill nationalism to prevent separation
and eliminate ethnic violence.
Mass media and culture help diffuse nationalism.
Nationalism can lead to negative results by displaying a
disdain or superiority to other nations.
Nationalism is a centripetal force, or a force that unifies
people together.
![Page 45: Ethnicity - MR. ALARCON'S WEBSITEmralarcon.weebly.com/.../chapter_7_-_ethnicity.pdf · Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022053012/5f0fa0c77e708231d4451b07/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Multinational states
Countries that have more than one ethnic group are known
as multi-ethnic states. Belgium is a prime example.
Multinational states are countries where at least two diverse
ethnic groups with self determination agree to coexist
peacefully. United Kingdom is a good example with
England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
