We compare intermarriage in Brazil, Cuba, and the United States among the black, white, and mixed-race population using log-linear models with data from newly available anonymized and harmonized individual census microdata for the 2000 round of censuses. We find that black–white intermarriage is 105 times as likely in Brazil and 28 times as likely in Cuba compared to the United States; that Brazilian mulatos are four times as likely to marry whites than blacks, but Cuban mulatos are equally likely to marry whites and blacks; and negative educational gradients for black–white intermarriage for Cuba and Brazil but nonexistent or positive gradients in the United States. We propose a theory of intergenerational mixture and intermarriage and discuss implications for the role of preferences versus structure, universalism and education, and mulato escape-hatch theory.

美洲种族通婚

我们使用对数线性模型比较巴西，古巴和美国在黑人，白人和混合种族人口中的通婚情况，该数据与来自于2000年人口普查的新的匿名和统一个人普查微观数据的数据相吻合。我们发现，与美国相比，巴西白人通婚的可能性是巴西的105倍，古巴是28倍。巴西的黑白混血儿与白人结婚的可能性是黑人的四倍，但是古巴的黑白混血儿与白人和黑人结婚的可能性相同；古巴和巴西的黑白通婚的教育梯度为负，而美国则不存在或为正。我们提出了代际混合和通婚的理论，并讨论了偏好与结构，普遍主义和教育的关系，
