SOC 320G: Race and Minority Relations

Finding Articles

This page includes a list of recommended library databases for finding articles for your literature review. Search the databases using keywords for the racial/ethnic groups you're researching, combined with keywords related to immigration and/or history. Try searching for different combinations of relevant keywords—this might take a bit of trial and error. Depending on the results you're seeing, you may need to include United States, America, or North America as keywords, in order to find research related to immigration to this part of the world.

Keyword Examples for Database Searching

  • Latinos AND immigration AND "United States"
  • "Mexican Americans"
  • Chinese AND immigration AND history
  • "Chinese Americans"
  • refugees AND Bosnia AND "United States"
  • "Nigerian Americans"

If you need any help formatting your keywords to find articles, just ask a librarian!
