5-0 out of 5 stars Easy to Deal with
Thank you so much for the fast shipping and for working around the snow.It was nice doing business with you!

4-0 out of 5 stars Good Book but Too Expensive
I used this book about four years ago in an upper-division college course and really enjoyed it. However, I see that the paperback version now costs well over $60. Not sure why the price of the book increased so dramatically. However, because of the cost, I will not use it for my class in the spring.

5-0 out of 5 stars What was needed
This book was required for my history class, no complaints so far, we shall see as the semester goes on.

4-0 out of 5 stars An interesting perspective on being American
The content of this book is derived primarily from first-person narratives and other primary source historical documents.These writings offer the reader a great deal to consider when thinking about the role of Americans in history.The narratives are moving and thought provoking, and really force the reader to reconsider what it really means to be an American. Questions abound about why we aren't told these stories in school, particularly regarding the role this country has played in the lives of other nations.A real "based on a true story" book! ...

Editorial Review

Product Description

Immigration, writes Maldwyn Allen Jones, was America's historic raison d'être. Reminding us that the history of immigration to the United States is also the history of emigration from somewhere else, Mr. Jones considers the forces that uprooted emigrants from their homes in different parts of the world and analyzes the social, economic, and psychological adjustments that American life demanded of them—adjustments essentially the same for the Jamestown settlers and for Vietnamese refugees. As well as measuring the impact of America on the lives of the sixty million or so immigrants who have arrived since 1607, he assesses their role in industrialization, the westward movement, labor organization, politics, foreign policy, the growth of American nationalism, and the theory and practice of democracy.

In this new edition, Jones brings his history of immigration to the United States up to 1990. His new chapter covers the major changes in immigration patterns caused by changes in legislation, such as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965.

"It is done with a grasp of regional, chronological, national and racial information, plus that 'feel' for the situation which can come only from the vast resources and a gift for interpretation."—A. T. DeGroot, Christian Century

"A scholarly contribution, based on a thorough mastery of the subject."—Carl Wittke, Journal of Southern History

Editorial Review

Product Description

Immigration and American History was first published in 1961. Minnesota Archive Editions uses digital technology to make long-unavailable books once again accessible, and are published unaltered from the original University of Minnesota Press editions.

Ten scholars noted for their studies in immigration history contribute essays to this volume. Dr. Commager surveys the course of immigration studies over the years. Oscar Handlin reappraises the role of immigration in American life. Ingrid Semmingsen, Norwegian historian, writes on the image of American in Europe. Philip D. Jordan focuses on the immigrant's view of America. John T. Flanagan discusses the immigrant in fiction. Carlton C. Qualey contributes two essays. In the first he surveys world population movements and in the second he suggests new source materials for immigration studies. Henry A. Pochmann discusses the migration of ideas—what ideas have come into America, from where, and to what end? Franklin D. Scott inquires into the value of immigration studies of nationality groups. The Reverend Colman J. Barry explores possibilities for future immigration studies. Theodore C. Blegen takes a backward glance and a forward look at immigration studies.

The volume is based on the papers given at a conference held at the University of Minnesota in honor of Dr. Blegen on his retirement from the university.

Editorial Review

Product Description
First published in 1977, Ethnic Americans has established itself as the classic study of immigration to the United States in the twentieth century. This updated edition reflects developments of the 1980s and ´90s -a period that has seen the greatest wave of immigration in American history. The burgeoning trend of increasing immigration, mostly from Latin America, Asia, and the Caribbean, is expected to continue. But how welcome will all these people be, and what is the history of the melting (sometimes boiling) pot they are pouring into?In investigating these questions, Ethnic Americans provides a concise yet comprehensive overview of immigration and assimilation of European, Asian, and Latin American peoples from 1607 to the present. The fourth edition has been revised and expanded to incorporate new research on women immigrants, the new refugees, and the continuing asylum crisis of the 1990s. Dinnerstein and Reimers also examine the continuity of nativism and restrictionist sentiment in the United States, as shown in the movements to make English the official language of the nation and in attempts to end bilingual education and ballots. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Really good concise history of immigration
Dinnerstein and Reimers provide an easy to read summyar of American immigration from the conolain immigration to the present. It covers important immigration from Europe, Asia and Mexico such as public reaction, adjusment problems and immigration laws.

It provides a great deal information about collective ethnic groups and their positions on domestic and international issues.

3-0 out of 5 stars How can they make immigration history boring?
I read this book last week for a history class.Supposedly it's THE undergraduate text in immigration history, but I don't really know why.While I admit that it covers an amazing amount of history and information, it lacks organization which makes it very boring and difficult to follow at points.While it's still worth reading for its content, there must be something better out there.

4-0 out of 5 stars Concise and Comprehensive
Dinnerstein and Reimers presents a comprehensive overview of immigrants inthe United States from 1607 until the present. Ethnic Americans covers thetriumph and struggle of European, Latin America, Asian immigrants as theyseek social, economic and political freedom in the United States.Examinesthe assimilation of immigrants despite facing racism and prejudice in thenew world. This book is truly a historical, scholarly work but a readablebook for everyone interested in the history of immigrants in the UnitedStates. ... Read more

Editorial Review

Product Description
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. ... Read more
