Description: Postwar Immigrant America examines the changing patterns of immigration to the United States since World War II, providing a synthesis of elements often scattered in interpretive and documentary works.

An introduction summarizes the history of immigration to the United States before World War II, and the six chapters that follow discuss major themes such as the development of immigration patterns, the changes in American immigration and naturalization policies, and the image of the "melting pot" versus the concept of pluralism. Charts, tables, maps, boxes featuring the human element in immigration, a chronology of immigration policy, and an index are also included.
Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
