Immigrant Experiences: Why Immigrants Come to the United States and What They Find When They Get Here weaves together detailed historical and contemporary examples of immigration to the United States that move beyond hackneyed stereotypes about immigrants to give readers a fact-based understanding of why and how immigration occurs.
Discussing immigration from the 1800s to today, Ewing explores the motivations, challenges, and triumphs of various immigrant groups, including the Irish, Italians, Mexicans, Chinese, and Indians. Tackling issues of discrimination and assimilation, this book looks at how immigrants have added to the American culture and way of life, and what to expect going forward.
Walter A. Ewing is Senior Researcher at the American Immigration Council—a nonprofit in Washington, DC, that is devoted to the advancement of U.S. immigration policies that are both practical and humane. Prior to his time at the Council, Walter spent two years as an Immigration Policy Analyst for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and two years as a Program Director at the U.S. Committee for Immigrants and Refugees, also located in Washington, DC. Walter has a Ph.D. in anthropology from the City University of New York (CUNY) Graduate Center.
