87-99 pages with tables and bibliography. Royal octavo (10" x 6 3/4") bound in original publisher's wrappers. Ethnology Volume XXXII Number 1 complete issue. First edition. The growth of refugee and immigrant enclaves in the United States despite pressures for assimilation highlights the persistence of ethnic identity over other loyalties. Because ethnically distinct immigrants are often concentrated (whether by choice or discrimination) in particular labor markets, research among refugee populations provides an opportunity to evaluate theories of class and ethnicity in the work place. This article examines the class segmentation model of ethnicity with respect to the seafood processing industry in Bayou La Batre, Alabama, a small coastal community located on the northern Gulf of Mexico. Since the mid-1970s, Bayou La Batre has witnessed an influx of Vietnamese, Cambodian, and Laotian immigrants, most of whom have been incorporated, albeit unevenly, in the work force of the seafood processing industry. The article assesses the extent to which the changing ethnic composition of the work force has affected processors hiring practices, and whether employment patterns conform to the predictions of class segmentation theory. Examination of hiring practices in the seafood industry will suggest some important modifications of the model; notably, that employers decisions are not governed solely by the imperative of controlling the work force, but are also constrained by pre existing cultural perceptions of ethnically distinct workers.
