A detailed and engaging historical examination that provides an intimate understanding of the daily life of the new immigrants in the United States.In the last decades, a growing number of immigrants from around the world have arrived in the United States. Daily Life of the New Americans: Immigration since 1965 provides a thematic overview of their everyday lives and underscores the diversity and complexity of the newcomer experience. Organized into six thematic chapters, the book examines how immigrants from Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Europe are changing the face of the American nation, and, at the same time, are themselves being changed by living in America. The stories told here are enhanced through the use of oral histories that bring immigrant experiences vividly to life.

Recenzii

This narrative reference text thematically explores the daily life experiences of immigrants to the United States arriving since the passage of the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. Aiming to make the work accessible to high school students and a general readership, Strobel (U. of Massachusetts) offers chapters on the diversity of immigrant communities and their migration stories; the economic positions and activities of immigrant communities; identity, family relations, intergenerational issues, and other issues of family life; the community life and culture of immigrants and interactions with the rest of society; issues of stereotyping and discrimination; and the impact of politics and policy on thedaily life of immigrants.
This insightful work is a suitable addition for schools with AP or other college preparatory programs.
