    Description
    An introduction to the sociological study of immigration and settlement in the United States. Particular emphasis is given to the historical, social, economic, and political factors shaping migration, immigration, and transnationalism. Topics include acculturation, incorporation, assimilation, inter-ethnic relations, identity pressures, stereotypes and discrimination, immigration policy, struggles for equality, labor force participation, unauthorized immigrants, and unaccompanied children. Special attention is given to how race, age, gender, class, and immigration status shape immigrants identities and experiences.
