Superb anthology

This anthology successfully synthesizes the work of leading social scientist in the diverse and growing field of gender and immigration. This book teaches readers about how immigrants (both men and women) are impacted by immigration policy, socialization, religion, and transnationalism. In addition, the essays also look at generational conflict, as well as ways that second and third generation minorities develop a cultural identity. All in all, this textbook is an invaluable resource for teachers and students. I highly recommend this book for course adoption, especially for those who teach about immigration, race, gender, and work.
