Talk:Reactive ethnicity

Jeffrey Reitz

edit

A man named Jeffrey Reitz seems to be a big part of this concept. He was the guy that told Sigal Samuel about this concept and also is the co-author of a scholarly article featuring this subject. I searched his name on Wikipedia and spotted it in "Economic impact of immigration to Canada" and "CANZUK International", in an immigration context. More context on his background would be helpful. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  21:56, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Kassir, Reitz likely coined term

edit

Alexandra Kassir and Jeffrey Reitz likely coined the subject "reactive ethnicity" in the aforementioned journal. That is concerning because most instances of this term that I am finding so far are all directly connected to one of those two people. This does not look good for notability. — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:08, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply

Found independent use

edit

I found an independent use of the term, but they seem to be defining it a bit differently. Their definition clearly includes social pressure instead of just legal pressure. The source is:

Ersanilli, Evelyn; Koopmans, Ruud (March 2011). "Do Immigrant Integration Policies Matter? A Three-Country Comparison among Turkish Immigrants". West European Politics. 34 (2): 208–234. doi:10.1080/01402382.2011.546568. {{cite journal}}: |access-date= requires |url= (help)

Portes and Rumbault

edit

Alejandro Portes and Rubén G. Rumbaut. They are now the earliest users of the term. And all the other journals have cited "Portes and Rumbaut 2001".  — Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs)  22:31, 7 August 2018 (UTC)Reply
