Abstract:This third edition has been thoroughly expanded and updated to reflect current demographic, economic, and political realities. Drawing on recent census data and other primary sources, the authors have infused the entire text with new information and added a vivid array of new vignettes and illustrations. Recognized for its superb portrayal of immigration and immigrant lives in the United States, this book probes the dynamics of immigrant politics, examining questions of identity and loyalty among newcomers, and explores the psychological consequences of varying modes of migration and acculturation. The authors look at patterns of settlement in urban America, discuss the problems of English-language acquisition and bilingual education, and explain how immigrants incorporate themselves into the American economy. Contains a new chapter on religion and fresh analyses of topics ranging from patterns of incarceration to the mobility of the second generation and the unintended consequences of public policies. This updated edition frames and informs on issues that promise to be even more hotly and urgently contested as the subject moves to the center of national debate.
