Soaring immigration to the United States in the past few decades
has reawakened both popular and scholarly interest in this
important issue. American Arrivals highlights the important
insights of anthropology for the field of migration studies. The
authors reflect on anthropological approaches, methods, and
theories and seek to develop a research program for the future.
Placing contemporary immigration in the perspective of
globalization and transnational social fields, their essays
demonstrate the importance of gender and urban contexts to
understanding immigrants' lives. Addressing issues of health care,
education, and cultural values and practices among Mexicans,
Haitians, Somalis, Afghans, and other newcomers to the United
States, the authors illuminate the complex ways that immigrants
adapt to life in a new land and raise serious questions about the
meaning and political uses of ideas about cultural difference.
