Milton Gordon
Milton Myron Gordon (born October 3, 1918) is an American sociologist. He is most noted for having devised a theory on the Seven Stages of Assimilation.[1] He was born in Gardiner, Maine.[2]
- Acculturation: newcomers adopt language, dress, and daily customs of the host society (including values and norms).
- Structural assimilation: large-scale entrance of minorities into cliques, clubs and institutions in the host society.
- Marital assimilation: widespread intermarriage.
- Identification assimilation: the minority feels bonded to the dominant culture.
- Attitude reception assimilation refers to the absence of prejudice.
- Behavior reception assimilation refers to the absence of discrimination.
- Civic assimilation occurs when there is an absence of value conflicts and power struggles.
