Urban Ethnicity in the United States: New Immigrants and Old Minorities

Many thousands of non-Europeans have settled in the United States since immigration laws changed in the mid-1960s. The contributors state that neither urban specialists nor the general public have fully recognized the effect of immigration on the American city; in this volume, they examine the impact of such immigration. Part One gives basic historical and demographic analyses and providing a context for the study of contemporary racial and ethnic relations in US cities. Part Two examines specific institutional responses to current problems, and includes discussions focusing on native-born US minority groups of non-European ancestry.Maldonado, Lionel is the author of 'Urban Ethnicity in the United States: New Immigrants and Old Minorities' with ISBN 9780803922693 and ISBN 0803922698.
