| Summary: | Education received by an immigrant in his native country is a factor of crucial importance for his occupational opportunities and overall adjustment in the new social environment, especially if he immigrates in his adult age. Therefore, the more uniform the education of members of an ethnic immigrant group or its segments, the greater the probability that their life chances in the adopted society will be, more or less, similar. Consequently, the differential achievements of various segments of an immigrant ethnic group may become the cause of latent intragroup conflicts, and result in factionalism in religious disputes along the lines of internal group differentiation. While such factionalism remains an intragroup affair on the manifest level, it may, on the latent level, be expressive of differential attitudes of the factions toward the larger society. |
