Sal ill bfl H 'J I 1 o 117 118 DEMOCRACY AND ASSIMILATION XIV Now if neither disparity of the ratio of marriageable persons nor rise in economic status is an adequate ex- planation of the unusual increase in the proportion of in- termarriage in the second generation, the only alterna- tive left is to ascribe it to the weakening or destruction of the attitude of group solidarity. Once the subtle and numberless bonds that tie the individual to his tradi- tiona...l group are snapped, he is set adrift in a vast sea upon which float countless similar " kin-wrecked" folk. Choice of mates is then determined largely, if not wholly, by two factors: propinquity and physical attraction. The same forces that strengthen or weaken immigrant community life, are the forces that fortify or undermine this attitude of attachment to the group.
