Book Review

For a review of IMMIGRANT AMERICA: A PORTRAIT, by Alejandro Portes and Rubén G. Rumbaut. Berkeley: University of California Press, 2006, click here.  The inytroduction should give you a flavor of the review:

Although it perhaps is cliché for a review to characterize a book in this way, IMMIGRANT AMERICA: A PORTRAIT truly is a “must read” for any serious student of immigration law and policy. This volume is chock full of facts and information about immigration based on Census 2000, a wealth of current research studies on immigrants, and insightful analysis by two most influential sociologists. The third edition is substantially revised, expanded, and updated from the second edition published a decade ago. Alejandro Portes and Rubén Rumbaut have done an excellent job to ensure that the book is as up-to-date and complete as possible.
