Abstract: 

The data include 179 interviews with third-plus-generation (US-born of US-born parents) living in three different San Francisco Bay Area locales: East Palo Alto, Cupertino, and Berryessa (San Jose). The respondents include individuals from a range of ethnoracial and class backgrounds. Respondents answer questions about their experiences and perceptions of immigration-driven changes, including, but not limited to: perceptions of American national identity; ethnoracial intergroup relations; social network composition; and knowledge and use of ethnoracial culture.
