520 1 $a"The booming 1990s saw a new demographic pattern emerging in the United States - the shift of immigrants toward smaller towns and metropolitan areas in ethnically homogenous (or traditionally bicultural) areas. These places offer growing, specialized economies in need of unskilled or semiskilled (and occasionally skilled) labor." "Immigrants Outside Megalopolis documents this trend with case studies including Hmong in Wisconsin; Iranians in Iowa; Mexicans in Kansas, North Carolina, southern Texas, and Colorado; Vietnamese in coastal Louisiana; Cubans in Arizona; Bosnians in upstate New York; Asian Indians in northern Texas; and Ukrainians and Russians in the Willamette Valley of Oregon. The implantation of new features on the cultural landscape (businesses, homes, churches, schools, possessions, and the people themselves) is giving many Americans a world geography lesson - at a time when increased world understanding is something the country cannot do without. This geography lesson comes at a cost, however: the difficult process of social adjustment, playing out on a daily basis between immigrant and host populations, which remains largely unresolved. Immigrants Outside Megalopolis is appropriate for all levels of scholars and students of geography and sociology."--BOOK JACKET.
