Yans-Mclaughlin Ed., Immigration Reconsidered - History Sociology And Politics

Abstract

This book contains eleven essays by leading historians and social scientists of immigration that present new research in this area. While emphasizing an interdisciplinary approach, these scholars utilize local, global, and comparative perspectives in their work. These essays are especially useful for scholars of American history since they provide a broader context in which to teach about the American immigration experience. They help us to realize that historical questions and issues pertaining to the American immigration experience are not necessarily unique.
