Singer (Brookings Institution), Hardwick (U. of Oregon) and Brettell (Southern Methodist U.) have edited this collection of case studies that focus on modern gateways for immigrants in the 21st century, and how these new arrivals become integrated into American suburbs. Using federal immigration guidelines as a backdrop, these essays show how current policies both serve and ignore new arrivals to this country, and how reform is needed in such areas as integration, English language instruction and access to government services. This book, which should appeal to urban planners and sociologists alike, is part of the James A. Johnson series from Brookings Institution Press.
