This work offers a groundbreaking reinterpretation of US immigration policies, skillfully weaving together domestic elements—from legislation to citizenship—and the longstanding racial biases in immigration with the intricate dynamics of international relations. The outcome is a compelling and fresh perspective on the making of the USA into "a nation of immigrants." This book deepens our understanding of a pivotal aspect of US society - and politics. It merits a broad readership on both sides of the Atlantic. * Christoph Rass, Professor of Modern History and Historical Migration Research, Institute for Migration Research and Intercultural Studies, Osnabrueck University, Germany *In this thoughtful, analytical, and humane new book, Benjamin Montoya demonstrates how U.S. foreign policy decisions have shaped the migration choices of millions—and vice versa. Drawing on case studies of European, Asian, and Latin American migrants, and spanning more than two centuries of history, this book offers a valuable overview for students and fresh insights for scholars. * Christopher Capozzola, Professor of History, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA * Promotional A comparative overview of immigrants and immigration into the United States over the course of the 20th century, and the effect it has had on US foreign relations.
