American Immigration and Ethnicity A Reader

This book is an invaluable tool for teaching immigration history. It is the first text 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.Gerber, David A. is the author of 'American Immigration and Ethnicity A Reader', published 2005 under ISBN 9780312293505 and ISBN 031229350X.
