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 Assimilations
shows that assimilation is not a one-way street. Jiménez explains how
established Americans undergo their own assimilation in response to
profound immigration-driven ethnic, racial, political, economic, and
cultural shifts.
