Immigration and Ethnic History - Paperback

by Mae N. Ngai (Author)

Mae M. Ngai takes an in-depth look at the recent changes in immigration history, another field that has benefited from the transnational turn, which has pushed scholarship beyond the traditional study of white Europeans and placed new emphasis on ethnicity, worldwide patterns of migration, diaspora, and hybridity.
