In an insightful and clear examination of immigration laws, the occupations of immigrants, and the development of identities among newcomers and their children, the authors show how race shapes the fortunes of the newest Americans and how they in turn are shaping the meaning of race in America. This is a readable, intelligent overview of dynamic trends that are reshaping our society.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eMary C.

Amidst the political rhetoric of a 'post-racial society' the authors remind us that racism continues to exert deleterious effects on a variety of groups including immigrants. Equally important, this book reminds us about the racialization of two groups that remain less visible in the migration literature: highly skilled migrants and black immigrants. A very timely and useful book for scholars, practitioners, and a general audience of interested readers.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBandana Purkayastha, University of Connecticut\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eRace and Immigration\u003c\/i\u003e's serious examination of the relationship between immigration, race, and ethnicity is a welcome respite from the din of the acrimonious public debate on the costs and benefits of contemporary immigration.

With Latinos recently surpassing African Americans as the largest minority group in the US, attention has been focused on the important implications of immigration for the character and role of race in US life, including patterns of racial inequality and racial identity. \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e This insightful new book offers a fresh perspective on immigration and its part in shaping the racial landscape of the US today. Moving away from one-dimensional views of this relationship, it emphasizes the dynamic and mutually formative interactions of race and immigration. Drawing on a wide range of studies, it explores key aspects of the immigrant experience, such as the history of immigration laws, the formation of immigrant occupational niches, and developments of immigrant identity and community. Specific topics covered include: the perceived crisis of unauthorized immigration; the growth of an immigrant rights movement; the role of immigrant labor in the elder care industry; the racial strategies of professional immigrants; and the formation of pan-ethnic Latino identities. \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e \u003cbr style=\"font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px;\"\u003e Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book will be invaluable for advanced undergraduate and beginning graduate-level courses in the sociology of immigration, race and ethnicity.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eAcknowledgments viii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 The Race–Immigration Nexus 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Immigration Policy and Racial Formations 27\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Race and the Occupational Strategies of Immigrants 60\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Immigrant Identities and Racial Hierarchies 116\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eConclusions: Race, Immigration, and the American Dream 162\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNotes 168\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eReferences 173\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 191\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Society \u0026amp; culture: general [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Society \u0026amp; culture: general\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Society%20\u0026amp;%20culture:%20general%20%5BJF%5D%22\"\u003eJF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Polity","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52407316906264,"sku":"9780745647913","price":47.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9780745647913.jpg?v=1784161175","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/race-and-immigration-hardback-9780745647913","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
