Immigration is one of the critical issues of our time. In Citizens,
Strangers, and In-Betweens, an integrated series of fourteen
essays, Yale professor Peter Schuck analyzes the complex social
forces that have been unleashed by unprecedented legal and illegal
migration to the United States, forces that are reshaping American
society in countless ways. Schuck first presents the demographic,
political, economic, legal, and cultural contexts in which these
transformations are occurring. He then shows how the courts,
Congress, and the states are responding to the tensions created by
recent immigration. Next, he explores the nature of American
citizenship, challenging traditional ways of defining the national
community and analyzing the controversial topics of citizenship for
illegal alien children, the devaluation and revaluation of American
citizenship, and plural citizenship. In a concluding section,
Schuck focuses on four vital and explosive policy issues:
immigration's effects on the civil rights movement, the cultural
differences among various American ethnic groups as revealed in
their experiences as immigrants throughout the world, the
protection of refugees fleeing persecution, and immigration's
effects on American society in recent years.
