This innovative reader is the first in American immigration history
to combine and compare the experiences of European immigrants in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and those of Asian,
Hispanic, Caribbean, and African immigrants in the late twentieth and
twenty-first centuries. Many instructors feel that they do not
possess the breadth of knowledge to bridge the chronological and
cultural gaps between varying waves of immigration. Through its
carefully selected readings from scholarly essays and primary source
documents, this collection creates a framework for instructors to
engage in comparative analysis of immigration waves across time. The
editors have chosen readings with accessibilty for the undergraduate
student in mind, and also provide substantial introductory material
to better contextualize the selections. An invaluable tool for
teaching immigration history, the volume also can be used in courses
in sociology, ethnic studies, and American pluralism.
