Dividing Lines The Politics of Immigration Control in America

"Daniel Tichenor'sDividing Linesis one of the best books on U.S. immigration policy to appear in the past decade. Political scientists, sociologists, historians, and nonacademic readers will all find it illuminating."--Martin Shefter, Cornell University "This is an excellent book. It constitutes a superb narrative history of American immigration policy and reform, makes sense of the trajectory of this development, and connects the politics and history of immigration reform to a set of larger theoretical claims in the field of American political development. It thus makes a number of important contributions, not only to immigration history but also to American political development and the historical-institutional study of politics generally."--Robert C. Lieberman, Columbia UniversityTichenor, Daniel J. is the author of 'Dividing Lines The Politics of Immigration Control in America' with ISBN 9780691088044 and ISBN 0691088047.
