Présentation de l'éditeur :
Immigration, writes Maldwyn Allen Jones, was America's historic raison d'Etre. 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
Biographie de l'auteur :
Maldwyn Allen Jones is Commonwealth Fund Professor Emeritus of American history at the University of London.
