Mass Migration to the United States: Classical and Contemporary Periods
Mass Migration to the United States: Classical and Contemporary Periods
Min and his contributors offer here an evaluation of the differences and similarities between the immigrant groups to the United States between 1880 and 1930 and those from the post-1965 contemporary period of immigration. In particular, they analyze trends in anti-immigrant attitudes and actions, changes in settlement patterns, entrepreneurship and business patterns, ethnic diversity, immigrant women’s work, the intergenerational transmission of culture and the naturalization process. The authors draw historical comparisons between the successive phases of immigration and the impact they had on evolving race relations in America. This book should be of interest to instructors and researchers in the fields of immigration, race and ethnic studies, minorities and public policy, urban studies, ethnic history, demography, human geography and sociology.
