This book takes a new look at the study of emigration since
publication of Americans Abroad in 1992. The US receives a high
volume of immigrants, but its emigrant population is less
frequently studied. International migration continues to increase,
with now over 200 million people worldwide living as emigrants from
their birth country for the purposes of work, family integration,
improved living situations, or human rights. Utilizing the same
social psychological approach that made the first edition so
successful, the authors examine the motivation, adjustment issues
and return migration of American emigrants. The analysis of these
comparative experiences reveals core elements of American culture.
With a new introductory chapter, a Foreword, and two Postscripts on
US emigrants in Australia and Israel, the second edition builds on
the strengths of the first edition to provide an important resource
for the current state of US emigration. New topics covered include:
what groups are emigrating from the US and why; rising departures
and emigration of unauthorized immigrants; perceptions of US
population about living abroad; US laws, dual citizenship,
taxation, and transnationalism; famous US emigrants; and
trends/projections for the future.
