Definition

  • The second generation can be defined as the U.S.-born children of immigrants and foreign-born children who arrived at early enough ages to be largely educated and socialized in the United States. Earlier cohorts of children of predominantly European immigrants, who settled in the United States during the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, were legally accepted as White.
