About
the Series
Ever wonder what it might be like to leave your
home for someplace totally new? How would you adapt to your new home and how
would you stay connected to your origins?
New
Americans
explores the fascinating history of the most recent
immigrants to the United States, the forces that led them to leave their
homelands, and the new lives they have carved out here. Each book discusses the
social, political, and economic climate that gave rise to the arrival of these
groups and explores the ways in which they have made their mark on U.S. culture.
These books also feature the personal stories of individual immigrants and the
hardships and triumphs of creating a new life in a strange land. Full-color
photographs and illustrations with informative captions enhance the text. This
series also features U.S. Census charts, a glossary, further information, and
index.
