 Tomás Jiménez is Associate Professor of Sociology and [**Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity**](http://ccsre.stanford.edu/). His research and writing focus on immigration, assimilation, social mobility, and ethnic and racial identity. His latest book, [***The Other Side of Assimilation: How Immigrants are Changing American Life*** ](http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520295704)(University of California Press, 2017), uses interviews from a race and class spectrum of Silicon Valley residents to show how a relational form of assimilation changes both newcomers (immigrants and their children) and established individuals (people born in the US to US-born parents). His first book,[ ](http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520261426)[**Replenished Ethnicity: Mexican Americans, Immigration, and Identity**](http://www.ucpress.edu/book.php?isbn=9780520261426) (University of California Press, 2010) draws on interviews and participant observation to understand how uninterrupted Mexican immigration influences the ethnic identity of later-generation Mexican Americans.
