Attitudes and actions toward refugees from the government, voluntary organizations, and the general public have ranged from acceptance to rejection; from well-wrought program efforts to botched policy decisions. Drawing on a wide range of contemporary and historical material, and based on the author's three-decade experience in refugee research and policy, Safe Haven? provides an integrated portrait of this crucial component of American immigration-and of American engagement with the world. Covering seven decades of immigration history, Haines shows how refugees and their American hosts continue to struggle with national and ethnic identities and the effect this struggle has had on American institutions and attitudes. 606 $aRefugees$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aImmigrants$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aRefugees$xHistory. 615 0$aImmigrants$xHistory. 676 $a305.9/069140973 700 $aHaines$b David$01596020 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819607203321 996 $aSafe haven$93917187 997 $aUNINA
