This second edition includes demographic, economic, and political realities. Drawing on recent census data and other primary sources, Portes and Rumbaut examine the dynamics of immigrant politics, question identity and loyalty among newcomers, and explore the psychological consequences of varying modes of migration and acculturation. The authors look at patterns of settlement in urban America, discuss the problems of English-language acquisition and bilingual education, explain how immigrants incorporate themselves into the American economy, and examine the trajectories of their children from adolescence to early adulthood.
