Strangers No More is the first book to compare immigrant
integration across key Western countries. Focusing on low-status
newcomers and their children, it examines how they are making their
way in four critical European countries--France, Germany, Great
Britain, and the Netherlands--and, across the Atlantic, in the
United States and Canada. This systematic, data-rich comparison
reveals their progress and the barriers they face in an array of
institutions--from labor markets and neighborhoods to educational
and political systems--and considers the controversial questions of
religion, race, identity, and intermarriage. Richard Alba and Nancy
Foner shed new light on questions at the heart of concerns about
immigration. They analyze why immigrant religion is a more
significant divide in Western Europe than in the United States,
where race is a more severe obstacle. They look at why, despite
fears in Europe about the rise of immigrant ghettoes, residential
segregation is much less of a problem for immigrant minorities
there than in the United States. They explore why everywhere,
growing economic inequality and the proliferation of precarious,
low-wage jobs pose dilemmas for the second generation. They also
evaluate perspectives often proposed to explain the success of
immigrant integration in certain countries, including nationally
specific models, the political economy, and the histories of Canada
and the United States as settler societies. Strangers No More
delves into issues of pivotal importance for the present and future
of Western societies, where immigrants and their children form
ever-larger shares of the population.
