, ETHNICITY PARADIGM AND CIVIL RIGHTS MOVEMENT 2

The ethnicity paradigm characterizes the conventional modern race sociology. This

paradigm has undergone three main phases, which include: a pre-1930 phase where the views of

the ethnic group was an insurgent tactic, challenging the biologist race perception prevailing at

that era; a 1930-65 phase where the paradigm operated as a profuse/progressive realistic way of

the understanding race where to recurrent themes, cultural pluralism and assimilationism, were

explained and a phase after 1965 where the paradigm defended the conservative egalitarianism

towards what most people believed to be the drastic attack on group rights. A paradigm based on

ethnicity was initiated between 1920 and 1930 with the primary aim of challenging different

perceptions on race during that era (Allport, Clark, & Pettigrew, 1954). Before that era, the

races was a sin towards the natural norm, which would bring about biological throwbacks. The

ethnicity paradigm was considered to be a revolutionary theory that considered that race is a

social category. Ethnicity theories came to life in the 20th century in sociology and anthropology

but also in other fields. In the U.S., the rise of ethnicity concepts was mostly motivated by the

migration of white people on the approach of the 20th century (Allport, Clark, & Pettigrew,

1954). These migrants were all white people from different places who needed their social status

and identity to be allotted. The upsurges by different races happened to be the most rampant

issues during the 1950s and 1960s in America's history. Some of the issues where racial
