Crosscurrents : Atlantic and Pacific migration in the making of a global America
\"This book provides an original perspective on American immigration that transcends the standard compartmentalization of American immigration into separate Atlantic-European and Pacific-Asian spheres and narratives that has blocked a fuller view of inter-regionalism and globalism. In contrast, this volume reveals modern migration to the U.S. as a bridge connecting the multiple peoples of the Atlantic and Pacific regions. It focuses on cross-cultural change and mutual adaptation between European and Asian immigrants, an innovative process that produced global diversity and multicultural convergence\"--Provided by publisher.

Comment: Super-Diversity: A Comparative and Historical Perspective
Ueda comments on Nancy Foner's approach beyond New York City toward other regions and communities to broaden the exploration she has initiated. If contemporary super-diversity displays that \"no one, two, or even three immigrant groups\" dominate the \"immigrant population the way Jews and Italians did a century ago\" in New York, then California's immigrant areas historically gravitated toward super-diversity. The Central Valley of California, like New York, attracted immigrants from countries in Europe and nearby areas to produce a Europe-centered diversity, while far exceeding New York City's admixture of immigrants from Asia and Latin America.

The new Americans : a guide to immigration since 1965
Listen to a short interview with Mary WatersHost: Chris Gondek | Producer: Heron & Crane
Salsa has replaced ketchup as the most popular condiment. A mosque has been erected around the corner. The local hospital is staffed by Indian doctors and Philippine nurses, and the local grocery store is owned by a Korean family. A single elementary school may include students who speak dozens of different languages at home. This is a snapshot of America at the turn of the twenty-first century.
The United States has always been a nation of immigrants, shaped by successive waves of new arrivals. The most recent transformation began when immigration laws and policies changed significantly in 1965, admitting migrants from around the globe in new numbers and with widely varying backgrounds and aspirations.
This comprehensive guide, edited and written by an interdisciplinary group of prominent scholars, provides an authoritative account of the most recent surge of immigrants. Twenty thematic essays address such topics as immigration law and policy, refugees, unauthorized migrants, racial and ethnic identity, assimilation, nationalization, economy, politics, religion, education, and family relations. These are followed by comprehensive articles on immigration from the thirty most significant nations or regions of origin. Based on the latest U.S. Census data and the most recent scholarly research, The New Americans is an essential reference for students, scholars, and anyone curious about the changing face of America.
