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.
- Photographs depict scenes of immigrant daily life
- A chronology of events outlines the main events in recent immigration history
