About this book

Historians commonly point to the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act as the inception of a new chapter in the story of American immigration. This wide-ranging interdisciplinary volume brings together scholars from varied disciplines to consider what is genuinely new about this period.

Reviews

"A rich, insightful, cross-disciplinary examination of one of the most significant periods in U.S. immigration history - our own. The collection offers a cohesive yet remarkably varied treatment of the challenges faced and the lives carved out by 'new' immigrants, and of the mark that recent immigration has made, from Boston to Atlanta to Southern California. A truly excellent anthology." - Matthew Frye Jacobson, William Robertson Coe Professor of American Studies & History and Professor of African American Studies, Yale University, USA

"This volume pivots on the juxtaposition of recent and earlier eras of mass immigration, yielding useful comparisons between policies, groups, and collective identity that will greatly interest scholars who explore the historical dimensions of international migration in the United States." - Reed Ueda, Professor of History, Tufts University, USA
