A sweeping narrative history of American immigration from the
colonial period to the present "A masterly historical synthesis,
full of wonderful detail and beautifully written, that brings fresh
insights to the story of how immigrants were drawn to and settled
in America over the centuries."-Nancy Foner, author of One Quarter
of the Nation The history of the United States has been shaped by
immigration. Historians Carl J. Bon Tempo and Hasia R. Diner
provide a sweeping historical narrative told through the lives and
words of the quite ordinary people who did nothing less than make
the nation. Drawn from stories spanning the colonial period to the
present, Bon Tempo and Diner detail the experiences of people from
Europe, Asia, Africa, and the Americas. They explore the many
themes of American immigration scholarship, including the contexts
and motivations for migration, settlement patterns, work, family,
racism, and nativism, against the background of immigration law and
policy. Taking a global approach that considers economic and
personal factors in both the sending and receiving societies, the
authors pay close attention to how immigration has been shaped by
the state response to its promises and challenges.
