Conclusion; Notes; Works Cited; IndexImmigration has always caused immense public concern, especially when the perception is that immigrants are not assimilating into society they way they should, or perhaps the way they once did. But is this truly a modern phenomenon? In From Immigrants to Americans, Jacob Vigdor offers a direct comparison of the experiences of immigrants in the United States from the mid-19th century to the present day. His conclusions are both unexpected and fascinating. This is an important book for anyone interested in immigration, either the history or the modern implications, or who want to understand why AmericanizationAssimilation (Sociology)ImmigrantsUnited StatesImmigrantsUnited StatesSocial conditionsAmericanizationfast(OCoLC)fst00807485Assimilation (Sociology)fast(OCoLC)fst00819095Immigrantsfast(OCoLC)fst00967712ImmigrantsSocial conditionsfast(OCoLC)fst00967782SOCIAL SCIENCE / GeneralbisacshSOCIAL SCIENCEbisacshUnited Statesfasthttps://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJtxgQXMWqmjMjjwXRHgrqAmericanization.Assimilation (Sociology)ImmigrantsImmigrantsSocial conditions.Americanization.Assimilation (Sociology)Immigrants.ImmigrantsSocial conditions.SOCIAL SCIENCE / General.SOCIAL SCIENCE.305.9/069120973305.9069120973Vigdor Jacob L1867870Bloomsbury (Firm),XFHXFHOCLCOOCLCQOCLCFOCLCQOCLCOOCLCAOCLCOOCLCQOCLCOOCLCQOCLCLOCLCQCLOUDOCLCQOCLCLUtOrBLWBOOK9910962434503321From immigrants to Americans4475622UNINA
