As the best single-source collection of classic and contemporary
readings on the subject, this anthology will be a valuable
reference to scholars of immigration, race and ethnicity, national
identity, and the history of ideas, and indispensable for courses
in history and the social sciences dealing with these topics.'
Ruben G. Rumbaut, co-author of Immigrant America: A Portrait and
Legacies: The Story of the Immigrant Second Generation Societies
today are increasingly characterized by their ethnic, racial, and
religious diversity. One key question raised by the global
migration of people is how they do or do not come to be
incorporated into their new social environments. For over a
century, assimilation has been the concept used in explaining the
processes of immigrant incorporation into a new society. It has
also been applied to indigenous peoples, to refugees, and to
involuntary migrants caught up in the slave trade. Assimilation has
confronted many scholarly challenges which were often intermeshed
with particular political agendas. This book allows readers to
obtain a clearer sense of the canonical formulation of assimilation
theory and an understanding of the key themes and issues contained
in current efforts to rethink and revise the classical perspective
for today's changing world.
