The advent of the twenty-first century marks a significant moment
in the history of Latinos in the United States. The "fourth wave"
of immigration to America is primarily Latino, and the last decades
of the twentieth century saw a significant increase in the number
of Latino migrants, a diversification of the nations contributing
to this migration, and an increase in the size of the native-born
Latino population. A backlash against unauthorized immigration,
which may indict all Latinos, is also underway. Understanding the
growing Latino population, especially its immigrant dimensions, is
therefore a key task for researchers in the social sciences and
humanities. The contributors to Immigration and the Border address
immigration and border politics and policies, focusing on the U.S.
side of the border. The volume editors have arranged the essays
into five sections. The two chapters in the first section set the
stage and discuss the binational lives of Mexican migrants;
chapters in the subsequent sections highlight specific political
and policy themes: civic engagement, public policies, political
reactions against immigrants, and immigrant leadership. Because the
immigration experience encompasses many facets of political life
and public policy, the varied perspectives of the contributors
offer a mosaic that contextualizes the impact of and contributions
by contemporary Latino immigrants. Their research will appeal not
only to scholars but to policymakers and the public and will inform
contentious debates about migration and migrants.
