The Other Side of Assimilation : How Immigrants Are Changing American Life Paperback / softback
by Tomas Jimenez
Paperback / softback
Description
The immigration patterns of the last three decades have profoundly changed nearly every aspect of life in the United States.
What do those changes mean for the most established Americans-those whose families have been in the country for multiple generations?
The Other Side of Assimilation shows that assimilation is not a one-way street.
Jimenez explains how established Americans undergo their own assimilation in response to profound immigration-driven ethnic, racial, political, economic, and cultural shifts.
Drawing on interviews with a race and class spectrum of established Americans in three different Silicon Valley cities, The Other Side of Assimilation illuminates how established Americans make sense of their experiences in immigrant-rich environments, in work, school, public interactions, romantic life, and leisure activities.
With lucid prose, Jimenez reveals how immigration not only changes the American cityscape but also reshapes the United States by altering the outlooks and identities of its most established citizens.
