Description

American Immigration by Maldwyn Allen Jones explores the complex history of immigration to the United States. From the Jamestown settlers to Vietnamese refugees, Mr. Jones examines the social, economic, and psychological adjustments that emigrants made in America, as well as their impact on the country's development. This new edition brings the history of immigration up to 1990, covering significant changes in legislation such as the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965. With a thorough mastery of regional, chronological, national, and racial information, Mr. Jones provides a comprehensive analysis of the role of immigrants in shaping America's industrialization, westward movement, labor organization, politics, foreign policy, and the growth of American nationalism. A scholarly contribution to the field, this book offers valuable insights into the history of immigration in the United States.
