註釋Drawing on hundreds of richly textured interviews conducted from one

end of the country to the other, veteran journalist Sanford J. Ungar documents

the real-life struggles and triumphs of America's newest immigrants. He

finds that the self-chosen who arrive every day, most of them legally,

still enrich our national character and experience and make invaluable

political, economic, social, cultural, and even gastronomic contributions.

"First-class journalism, a book scholars will use decades from now

to find out what it 'felt like' to be an immigrant in the 90s. I do not

know of a better description and analysis of contemporary immigration."

-- Roger Daniels, author of Coming to America: A History of Immigration

and Ethnicity in American Life

"An excellent overview of contemporary immigration issues set within

the context of developments in the past fifty years. Ungar makes a strong

case for the contributions of recent immigrants and for maintaining a

relatively open door in the face of sometimes shrill opposition."

-- Thomas Dublin, editor of Immigrant Voices: New Lives in America

"Exactly the right book at the right time. [Ungar] looks at the

national controversy over immigration policy with a clear eye, producing

a history and a convincing argument why this is no time to reverse a liberal

welcome to newcomers that has always--in good times and bad--made

this a better and more prosperous democracy." -- Ben H. Bagdikian,

author of Double Vision
