Beyond the Borderlands by Debra Lattanzi Shutika
ISBN: 9780520950238
Publication Date: 2011-07-08
Over the last three decades, migration from Mexico to the United States has moved beyond the borderlands to diverse communities across the country, with the most striking transformations in American suburbs and small towns. This study explores the challenges encountered by Mexican families as they endeavor to find their place in the U.S. by focusing on Kennett Square, a small farming village in Pennsylvania known as the "Mushroom Capital of the World." In a highly readable account based on extensive fieldwork among Mexican migrants and their American neighbors, Debra Lattanzi Shutika explores.
Crossing Borders by Dorothée Schneider

Aspiring immigrants to the United States make many separate border crossings in their quest to become Americans--in their home towns, ports of departure, U.S. border stations, and in American neighborhoods, courthouses, and schools. In a book of remarkable breadth, Dorothee Schneider covers both the immigrants' experience of their passage from an old society to a new one and American policymakers' debates over admission to the United States and citizenship.

The History and Immigration of Asian Americans by Franklin Ng (Editor)
ISBN: 0815326904
Publication Date: 1998-05-01
Since the immigration law changes in 1965, the population of Asian Americans in this country has increased dramatically and has also become more diverse as newer groups have joined the earlier Chinese, Japanese, Koreans, Filipinos, and Asian Indians. Especially notable are the refugees from the Vietnam War and other immigrants from Southeast Asia: Lao, Khmer, Hmong, Thai, and others. In addition, political and economic changes in Asia have stimulated the migration of highly educated Asians and the flow of capital from their trans-Pacific homelands to the United States. The essays in this volume provide a framework for understanding the historical experiences of Asians in the United States, with emphasis on the years after World War II.

True Faith and Allegiance by Noah Pickus
ISBN: 9781400826919
Publication Date: 2009-04-11
True Faith and Allegiance is a provocative account of nationalism and the politics of turning immigrants into citizens and Americans. Noah Pickus offers an alternative to the wild swings between emotionally fraught positions on immigration and citizenship of the past two decades. Drawing on political theory, history, and law, he argues for a renewed civic nationalism that melds principles and peoplehood. This tradition of civic nationalism held sway at America's founding and in the Progressive Era
