Contemporary Ethnic Geographies in America

Description

Examines the experiences of a range of ethnic groups in both historical and contemporary context, beginning by laying out a conceptual framework that integrates immigration theory; globalization; transnational community formation; and urban, cultural, and economic geography. The contributors then present a set of case studies of key ethnic and racial communities—including those of long-standing significance such as Native Americans, African Americans, and Mexican Americans, along with the Latin American and Asian groups that make up the vast majority of newer immigrants.
