The most comprehensive collection of essays on undocumented
immigration to date, covering issues not generally found anywhere
else on the subject. Three fascinating volumes feature the latest
research from the country's top immigration scholars. In the United
States, the crisis of undocumented immigrants draws strong opinions
from both sides of the debate. For those who immigrate, concerns
over safety, incorporation, and fair treatment arise upon arrival.
For others, the perceived economic, political, and cultural impact
of newcomers can feel threatening. In this informative three-volume
set, top immigration scholars explain perspectives from every
angle, examining facts and seeking solutions to counter the
controversies often brought on by the current state of undocumented
immigrant affairs. Immigration expert and set editor Lois Lorentzen
leads a stellar team of contributors, laying out history, theories,
and legislation in the first book; human rights, sexuality, and
health in the second; and economics, politics, and morality in the
final volume. From family separation, to human trafficking, to
notions of citizenship, this provocative study captures the human
costs associated with this type of immigration in the United
States, questions policies intended to protect the "American way of
life," and offers strategies for easing tensions between immigrants
and natural-born citizens in everyday life. Discusses topics rarely
covered, including sexual migration, religion, values, and mental
health Features essays across disciplines in the fields of
psychology, law, politics, social work, public policy, history,
education, and health Includes tables, maps, photos, and a
bibliography for each volume to provide visual interest and
additional learning opportunities Probes the latest controversies
centered on recent immigration legislation in Arizona, Georgia, and
Alabama Familiarizes readers with history, theories, and
legislation related to undocumented migration in the United States
