Immigration has had a profound impact on modern America, shaping its identity and institutions in numerous ways. Over the past half-century, the United States has welcomed nearly eighty-six million immigrants and their children, transforming the country's landscape and experience. This comprehensive book, written by one of the foremost experts on immigration in the United States, delves into the intricate details of how immigrants have reshaped the nation.
Unprecedented in its scope, One Quarter of the Nation explores how immigration has reconfigured America's racial order, altering perceptions of race and influencing electoral politics and party alignments. It examines how immigrants have revitalized urban centers and rural communities, contributing to economic growth and fostering the emergence of new industries. This wide-ranging book demonstrates how immigration has permeated every aspect of American culture, from music and cuisine to film and literature.
One Quarter of the Nation offers a fresh perspective on immigration, shifting the focus from how America has changed immigrants to how immigrants have changed America. It serves as a reminder that immigration has long been a part of American society, and how immigrants and their families continue to redefine the nation's identity. This book is a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex dynamics of immigration and its impact on modern America.
