The politics of immigration have heated up in recent years as
Congress has failed to adopt comprehensive immigration reform, the
President has proposed executive actions, and state and local
governments have responded unevenly and ambivalently to burgeoning
immigrant communities in the context of a severe economic downturn.
Moreover we have witnessed large shifts in the locations of
immigrants and their families between and within the metropolitan
areas of the United States. Charlotte, North Carolina, may be a
more active and dynamic immigrant destination than Chicago,
Illinois, while the suburbs are receiving ever more immigrants. The
work of John Mollenkopf, Manuel Pastor, and their colleagues
represents one of the first systematic comparative studies of
immigrant incorporation at the metropolitan level. They consider
immigrant reception in seven different metro areas, and their
analyses stress the differences in capacity and response between
central cities, down-at-the-heels suburbs, and outer metropolitan
areas, as well as across metro areas. A key feature of case studies
in the book is their inclusion of not only traditional receiving
areas (New York, Chicago, and Los Angeles) but also newer ones
(Charlotte, Phoenix, San Jose, and California's "Inland Empire").
Another innovative aspect is that the authors link their work to
the new literature on regional governance, contribute to emerging
research on spatial variations within metropolitan areas, and
highlight points of intersection with the longer-term processes of
immigrant integration. Contributors: Els de Graauw, CUNY; Juan De
