This volume gives multidimensional depth to the contemporary landscape of diversity." - Richard Alba,co-author of Remaking the American Mainstream "Given recent anti-immigrant sentiments and evolving policies regarding todays immigrants, From Arrival to Incorporation is timely in its emphasis on the need to move beyond a binary vision of immigrant experiences."
