Richard Alba argues that the social cleavages that separate Americans into distinct, unequal ethno-racial groups could narrow dramatically in the coming decades. During the mid-twentieth century, the dominant position of the United States in the postwar world economy led to a rapid expansion of education and labor opportunities. As a result of their newfound access to training and jobs, many ethnic and religious outsiders, among them Jews and Italians, finally gained full acceptance as members of the mainstream. Alba proposes that this large-scale assimilation of white ethnics was a result of 'non-zero-sum mobility', which he defines as the social ascent of members of disadvantaged groups that can take place without affecting the life chances of those who are already members of the established majority. Alba shows that non-zero-sum mobility could play out positively in the future as the baby-boom generation retires, opening up the higher rungs of the labor market. Because of the changing demography of the country, many fewer whites will be coming of age than will be retiring. Hence, the opportunity exists for members of other groups to move up. However, Alba cautions, this demographic shift will only benefit disadvantaged American minorities if they are provided with access to education and training. In "Blurring the Color Line", Alba explores a future in which socially mobile minorities could blur stark boundaries and gain much more control over the social expression of racial differences.
這是Alba受到著名黑人文化學者Henry Louis Gates (知道他竟然是因為當年那個神奇的beer summit……)邀請去哈佛做講座而形成的講座稿。雖然Alba一如既往地對於種族大和諧有著無盡的樂觀(當年他和Victor Nee於1997年寫的長文和2003閤作齣版的rethinking the American mainstream),但是把希望寄托在所謂non-zero-sum mobility上麵從某種程度看也是道盡瞭無可奈何。
