The Experience of Old and New Immigrants: A Comparison -- Mechanismsand Effects of International Migration -- Residential Settlement, Economic Incorporation, and Civic Reception of Immigrants -- Immigrants' Socio-Cultural and Civic-Political Assimilation: Different Groups, Different Contexts,and Different Trajectories -- Looking Beyond the Host Country: Immigrants' Transnational Engagements -- Immigrants' American-Born Children: Their Modes of Assimilation and Transnational Engagements -- In Lieu of Conclusion: Some Lessons from the Analysis of American Immigrants' Experience, ResearchAgendas of (Im)Migration Studies Elsewhere in the World, and What We Can Learn from Each Other.

This book proposes a new encompassing theoretical framework for the study of immigration. EwaMorawska provides a systematic comparative examination of the experience of turn-of-the-twentieth-century and present-day immigrants, and of eight contemporary immigrant groups in the United States. Within this interpretative framework, Morawska examines four major issues informing current sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of international migration, processes of immigrants' assimilation and transnational engagements, and the adaptation patterns of the second generation. This study focuses on the interactive framework in which immigrants, responding to circumstances not of their choosing, nonetheless make history. Though the book is shaped by an underlying theoretical framework, the key theoretical issues are explored through a comparison of eight different groups, providing rich, empirical, grounded material. As the groups range widely in origins and immigrantexperiences, they shed light on one of the salient aspects of the contemporary immigrant phenomenon, namely its diversity. The concluding chapter offers a thoughtful review of the main agendas of immigration research in different regions of the world followed by the author's suggestions regarding better-informed cross-national/regional studies in this field.
