“The book first looks at the immigrant experience, which
connects the present to the past, and America to the rest of the world, and
explores who immigrants are and why they move. It contends that the conduct of
today is no different than that in the past, and contrary to the claims by
immigration critics, the patterns of contemporary migration do not differ
fundamentally from those of other epochs. The book then discusses immigration
and culture and tackles assimilation, globalization, and cultural differences.”
