11 December 2009: New book on the Sociology of Immigration

This book proposes a new encompasing theoretical framework for the study of immigration. Ewa Morawska provides a systematic comparative examination of the experience of turn-of-the-twentieth-century and present-day immigrants, and of eight contemporary immigrant groups in the United States. Within this interpretive framework, Morawska examines four major issues informing current sociological studies of immigration: mechanisms and effects of international migration, processes of immigrant's assimilation and transnational engagements, are the adaptation patterns of the second generation.
