(1967, 19). Indeed, social scientists have been drawn to the investigation of intermarriage for over a century: from the classic anthropological studies of the nineteenth century (McLennan 1865; L. Morgan 1870; Tylor 1889); to the development of classi- cal assimilation theory, first by sociologists of the Chicago School led by Robert E. Park (Park and Burgess 1921; Park 1928) and later entrenched by Milton Gordon (1964); to studies from more current times, in which the subject has been analyzed from many different disciplines. This fascination with intermarriage can be attributed to the realization that the crossing of racial, ethno-cultural, religious, or class boundaries Dan Rodlriguez-Garcia is an associate professor of social and cultural anthropology and director of the INMIX Research Group on Immigration, Mixedness, and Social Cohesion at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. His areas of research are international migration, ilmmigrnt integration, interculturalism, ethnicity, internarriage, and mixedness. His current research focuses on identity processes of multiracial youth.
