Often overlooked in general studies of immigration, the western United States has been and is an important destination for immigrants. The unique combination of ethnicities and races in the West, combined with political and economic peculiarities, has given the region an immigration narrative that departs significantly from that of the East and Midwest. This volume explores facets of this narrative with case studies that reveal how immigration in the American West has influenced the region's development culturally, economically, socially, and politically. Contributors offer historical narrative and theory to illuminate factors that have galvanized immigration and the ways that agency, cultural resources, institutions, and societal attitudes have shaped immigrant experiences. With chapters written by scholars from multiple fields, the book's interdisciplinary framework will make it of interest to readers from a variety of backgrounds"--$cProvided by publisher. 606 $aImmigrants$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 606 $aAcculturation$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 606 $aCultural pluralism$zWest (U.S.)$xHistory 607 $aWest (U.S.)$xEmigration and immigration$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory. 615 0$aAcculturation$xHistory. 615 0$aCultural pluralism$xHistory. 676 $a305.9/06912078 702 $aEmbry$b Jessie L. 702 $aCannon$b Brian Q. 712 02$aCharles Redd Center for Western Studies, 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910460901503321 996 $aImmigrants in the far West$92136139 997 $aUNINA
