Description
A comparative analysis of immigrant integration across Western countries, Strangers No More examines the experiences of low-status newcomers and their children in four European countries and the United States and Canada. The book sheds new light on the complexities of immigration, including the role of religion, race, and economic inequality in shaping the integration process. The authors analyze data-rich comparisons of immigrant experiences in different countries, revealing the progress and barriers faced by immigrant groups in various institutions. They also evaluate perspectives on immigrant integration, including nationally specific models, the political economy, and the histories of Canada and the United States as settler societies. This book provides a systematic and insightful look at the challenges of integration in Western societies, where immigrants and their children form an increasingly large share of the population.
