Designed for high school students, college undergraduates and the general researcher, Encyclopedia of American Immigration offers a clear and innovative approach to immigration history that can also be used by advanced students and scholars. Fully updated, this three-volume set features dozens of new entries as well as extensive updates to existing entries. Taken together, they paint a wide-ranging portrait of the trials and triumphs of immigration in the United States from the 17th century to the present, treating this complex issue in extensive detail. New entries in this edition include: Arizona SB 1070, Central American Refugees, Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA), ICE (U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement), Sanctuary Cities, Trump Administration Family Separation Policy, Vartelas v. Holder. Over 70 articles on Specific Ethnic and National Immigrant Groups outline the group's immigration history, emphasizing what has made each group unique. One-third of the essays are Overviews covering broad issues ranging from accent discrimination to AIDS, world migration patterns, and xenophobia. Other important essays cover events, laws, treaties, organizations, institutions, and Supreme Court rulings on immigration. In addition, every state in the union has its own essay, averaging nearly 1,000 words in length, and a table summarizing demographic data. Ten cities with particularly large immigrant populations are also subjects of essays. Lastly, the set has articles on 45 Individual Persons, most of whom were post-independence-era immigrants who had a significant impact on the United States. Each essay focuses on the experiences of their subjects as immigrants. Individual essays use the same types of ready-reference top matter for which Salem reference works are noted, and every essay begins with a brief summary of its topic's significance in American immigration history. Plus, all essays, regardless of length, have a "Further Reading" list, which is thoughtfully annotated in longer pieces. -- Publisher.

Asian populations are among some of the fastest growing cultural groups in the US. While books on serving other target groups in libraries have been published (e.g., disabled, Latino, seniors, etc.), few books on serving library users of Asian heritage have been written. Thus the timely need for this book. Rather than a generalized overview of Asians as a whole, this book has 24 separate chapters—each on 24 specific Asian countries/cultures of East, Southeast, and South Asia—with a wealth of resources for understanding, interacting with, outreaching to, and serving library users of each culture. Resources include cultural guides (both print and online), language helps (with sample library vocabulary), Asian booksellers, nationwide cultural groups, professional literature, and more. Resources and suggestions are given for all three types of libraries—public, school, and academic—making this book valuable for all librarians. The demographics of each Asian culture (numbers and distribution)—plus history of immigration and international student enrollment—is also featured. As a bonus, each chapter spotlights a US public, school, and academic library providing model outreach to Asian library users. Additionally, this book provides a detailed description and analysis of libraries in each of the 24 Asian countries. The history, development, facilities, conditions, technology, classification systems, and more—of public, school, and academic libraries—are all discussed, with detailed documentation. Country conditions influencing libraries and library use are also described: literacy levels, reading cultures, languages and writing systems, educational systems, and more. Based on the author’s 15 years of research and travels to Asia, this work is a must-have for all librarians.

This invaluable resource investigates U.S. immigration policy, making connections between the ethnic and religious affiliations of immigrants and trends in immigration, both legal and unauthorized. U.S. Immigration Policy, Ethnicity, and Religion in American History is rich with data and document excerpts that illuminate the complex relationships among ethnicity, religion, and immigration to the United States over a 200-year period. The book uniquely organizes the flow of immigration to the United States into seven chapters covering U.S. immigration policymaking: · the Open Door Era, 1820–1880 · the Door Ajar Era, 1880–1920 · the Pet Door Era, 1920–1950 · the Dutch Door Era, 1950–1985 · the Revolving Door Era, 1985–2001 · the Storm Door Era, 2001–2018 Each chapter analyzes trends in ethnicity or national origin and the religious affiliations of immigrant groups in relation to immigration policy during the time period covered.
