Multidisciplinary Perspectives The rapid rise in immigration over the past few decades has transformed the American social landscape, while the need to understand its impact on society has led to a burgeoning research literature. Predominantly non-European and of varied cultural, social, and economic backgrounds, the new immigrants present analytic challenges that cannot be wholly met by traditional immigration studies.Immigration Research for a New Centurydemonstrates how sociology, anthropology, history, political science, economics, and other disciplines intersect to answer questions about today's immigrants. Immigration Research for a New Century examines the complex effects that immigration has had not only on American society but on scholarship itself, and offers the fresh insights of a new generation of immigration researchers."
