Reviews for And Still They Come: Immigrants and American Society 1920 to the 1990s
"Barkan offers a thoroughly researched and carefully balanced synthesis, emphasizing the diversity among individuals and groups before and after 1965 and offering carefully well-qualified generalizations. ... In short, And Still They Come is a valuable addition to the literature on American immigration since restriction, synthesizing a vast literature in a clear and original way."
