Routledge Race and Immigration in the United States Book

Race and Immigration in the United States: New Histories offers a fresh perspective on the American immigrant experience. Moving beyond the traditional Ellis Island model of assimilation, this collection presents a new way to understand how history is written. It challenges the idea that European immigrant experiences should serve as the standard for all others. Edited by Paul Spickard, this volume brings together top scholarship to examine how race impacts migration and social history. By looking at the experiences of people of color, the essays provide a more complete picture of the nation's past. This book is an essential resource for students and researchers looking to understand the complex relationship between race and migration in the United States.
