Race and Immigration in the United States is a collection of the very best of the new generation of scholarship in the field of immigration history. The traditional Ellis Island model of immigrant assimilation is no longer adequate to understand American history. A more subtle model is needed – one which does not exclude peoples of color from view; nor treat the experiences of European immigrants as a template for the experiences of non-white migrants. In this important collection; Paul Spickard draws together essays that illuminate the crucial differences that race makes in the study of American history. Bringing the insight of ethnic studies scholarship into the history of immigration; Race and Immigration in the United States is an essential collection for anyone studying ethnicity and immigration in American history.

Essential reading for the colonial Virginia historian or genealogistBy toobzI found "Within Her Power Propertied Women In Colonial Virgina" to be required reading for those researching colonial Virginia families. Social historians like Sturtz have made real the often shadowy figures of colonial women; and understanding how the law impacted women is crucial to understanding their husbands and children as well. Even genealogists of many years experience will find much here to aid their research. Highly recommended.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Women in HistoryBy thefountainheadGood book. I discovered some facts about women that I did not know. I am glad to know that we were not all treated like domesticated animals in this paternalistic society.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A must readBy AnaThis is a fascinating account of colonial times the women who lived under the rules and laws of the period. Women were still chattels in the eyes of their men. You realize what tremendous changes have occurred between then and today; all headed by strong women.
