Críticas
"[A] highly valuable contribution to the field. Both historians and sociologists studying immigration will want to read this book." -Deirdre M. Moloney,George Mason University "Nancy Foner's book brings an innovative contribution to the domain ofacademic comparative ethnography . . . Her work reveals contemporaryaspects of the subtle social forces at work in shaping immigrationnowadays." -Mihai Mindra,Finish Journal of Ethnicity and Migration "This book should be both a pleasure to read for both those who are immersed in the study of immigration and those less versed in the history and dynamics of these movements. For the latter, In a New Land will provide an excellent and thought provoking introduction. For the former . . . the book will stimulate thought about how to better understand this complex process." -Douglas Gurak,Anthropology and Education Quarterly "Foner does social science a great service, revealing . . . how immigration functions in other contexts, past and present, and in so doing unveiling the peculiarities of the United States as an immigrant-receiving society." -Douglas Massey,Contexts "This important and timely book encompasses a great deal. . . . Foner's definition of race in the 21st century is invaluable." -Choice "Excellent reading for anyone interested in ethnicity, race, and immigration patterns and policies." -Bryan Thompson,Journal of American History
Reseña del editor
2007 Choice Outstanding Academic Title! According to the 2000 census, more than 10% of U.S. residents were foreign born; together with their American-born children, this group constitutes one fifth of the nation's population. What does this mass immigration mean for America? Leading immigration studies scholar, Nancy Foner, answers this question in her study of comparative immigration. Drawing on the rich history of American immigrants and current statistical and ethnographic data, In a New Land compares today's new immigrants with the past influxes of Europeans to the United States and across cities and regions within the United States. Foner looks at immigration across nation-states, and over different periods of time, offering a comprehensive assessment and analysis. This original approach to the study of recent U.S. immigration focuses on race and ethnicity, gender, and transnational connections. Centering her analysis on the groups that have come through and significantly shaped New York City, Foner compares today's Latin American, Asian, and Caribbean newcomers with eastern and southern European immigrants a century ago and with immigrants in other major U.S. cities. Looking beyond the United States, Foner compares West Indian immigrants in New York with those in London. And, more generally, the book views the process of immigrants' integration in New York against other recent immigrant destinations in Europe. Drawing on a wealth of historical and contemporary research, and written in a clear and lively style, In a New Land provides fresh insights into the dynamics of immigration today and the implications for where we are headed in the future.
