The descriptive and analytic essays contained in New American Destinies provide a much needed overview of the historical and contemporary dimensions of Asian and Latino immigration. The contributors address policy issues and themes such as the political and economic context of migration, theories of migration, job competition, labor organization, changing ethnic and race relations, gender and family, immigrant labor, and California's Proposition 187.

New American Destinies will serve as an invaluable resource for both the specialist and the informed reader seeking a theoretically grounded and historically rich account of immigration, race, and ethnicity in an increasingly diverse society.
