About This Item
52-73 pages with tables. Royal octavo (10" x 6 1/2") bound in original publisher's wrappers. American Anthropologist, Volume 96, number 1, March 1994 whole issue. First edition.
Using logistic regression, this article tests the relative importance of the "imagined community" on the intentions of undocumented immigrants to stay in the United States. the argument is that, everything else being equal, imagining oneself as part of a local community is a powerful influence on settlement. If, for whatever reason, an undocumented immigrant comes to this self-perception, then he or she is likely to desire to stay in the community. The results clearly underscore the importance of feeling part of the community. Not only is the influence on the dependent variable statistically significant, but the odds ration indicates that those who feel part of the local community are almost four times (Mexicans) or almost five times (Central Americans) as likely to intend to stay permanently in the United States as those who do not.
Condition: Very good.
