Viac o knihe

Americans have come from every corner of the globe, brought together by a variety of historical processes. A thoughtful look at immigration, anti-immigration sentiments, and the motivations and experiences of the migrants themselves, this book offers a compact but wide-ranging look at one of America's hottest issues. A fascinating and even-handed historical account, it puts into perspective the longer history of calls for stronger immigration laws and the on-going debates over the place of immigrants in American society.
