"Clark's timely look at California's recent experience with foreign influx clarifies the futures and challenges many communities face in this new demographic era. The local costs and the political tensions aroused can strain a community's social fabric even as the human energy, ambition, and dreams of these determined newcomers enrich the nation they would join. This book offers a wealth of new insight into the local complexities of immigration--and its enduring future promise for the 21st-century United States." --Peter A. Morrison, PhD, Demographer, RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, CA "In a policy domain where experts behave as advocates and advocates as experts, William Clark refuses to engage in such cross-dressing. Finally, we have a thoughtful expert who rejects the hysteria of restrictionists but who also faces up to the real strains today's immigrants put on the social fabric. Clark offers a thoroughly fresh perspective. Defying the usual categories, he argues for both a more skills-based immigration policy and for more government resources to help low-skilled immigrants already here." --Peter Skerry, PhD, Senior Fellow, the Brookings Institution; Department of Political Science, Claremont-McKenna College, Claremont, CA "This book presents a careful and impartial assessment of the long-term social impact of immigration on the state. Professor Clark's analyses of a range of demographic, economic, and educational trends demonstrate that Californians are becoming increasingly divided....Although Californians will find many of Clark's results disturbing, the evidence is so generally consistent that the major trends cannot be denied. All people who love California and are concerned about its future should be aware of the findings presented in this book." --James P. Allen, Professor of Geography, California State University, Northridge "California has recently become America's most intensely immigrant state. To understand how and why, and what difference this makes, this book is the place to go. Clark covers the entire spectrum--from economics to geography, education to politics--drawing on a wealth of information to detail the shape of immigrant California. This lucid, deeply informed account avoids partisanship without ever skirting the tough issues. A 'must read' for any serious student of immigration." --Roger Waldinger, PhD, Department of Sociology, University of California, Los Angeles .,."provides a much-needed overview of the situation facing California." --"Journal of International Migration and Integration" .,."a book which would be instructive for public policymakers and administrators of public institutions; it also would be a good springboard for opening the investigation of...issues in recent San Diego history." --"The Journal of San Diego History" .,."a vital contribution to the literature on immigrant settlement in North America. Clark has done a major service in compiling a broad range of data to advance a sophisticated, well-presented, and credible argument. Quite simply, it is the most compelling assimilationist statement I have ever read." --"Environment and Planning A" "The California Cauldron is essential for an insightful analysis of immigration effects on American culture, politics, and economics." --"The Midwest Book Review" "Essential for any college-level analysis of immigration effects." --"Reviewer's Bookwatch"
Reseña del editor
Once the prime destination for westward-moving young Americans, California has become a magnet for a new wave of migration. Changes in immigration law and the ebbs and flows of the increasingly global economy have led to an influx of newcomers from every continent and every cultural, ethnic and socioeconomic group.; How has the demographic structure of California changed since the early 1980s? What are the social and spatial consequences of this transformation? Where are the immigrants living, and how successfully are they realizing their versions of the American dream? Examining the impact of large-scale immigration on local communities, this book presents an in-depth geographical case study of the most active "melting pot" in the USA.; Situating migration in its social and economic contexts, the author traces changes in the United States immigration policy over the course of the 20th century and considers implications for how we think about assimilation, pluralism and American identity. The book then provides an overview of why contemporary immigrants come to California and who these individuals are. Examining the consequences of immigration upon California neighbourhoods, cities and counties and traces the impact of migration on levels of fertility, poverty and educational attainment in different localities.; Additional topics covered include pathways to home ownership and the challenges facing California's educational system.
