The New Americans: A Guide to Immigration since 1965 (Harvard University Press Reference Library)
An exhaustive new work by more than two dozen American scholars...It's a careful, learned work aimed at educating us all as to who Americans really are these days...For those reporting on, working with or leading this increasingly diverse nation,The New Americanswill serve as a thorough primer to the nuances, challenges and opportunities at hand. (Robert BehreCharleston Post and Courier)The book is a useful primer; at once a wealth of information and a telling snapshot of current academic opinion on that all-important topic, assimilation. (Tamar JacobyNew York Post2007-07-08)There is not a weak or disappointing essay in the book...Waters and Ueda have succeeded in their goal of updatingThe Harvard Encyclopedia of American Ethnic Groups. My copy ofThe New Americansnow sits next to that venerable old guide, as it should for any scholar of the American immigrant experience. (Peter KivistoEthnic and Racial Studies2008-02-01)
