While many studies of this period focus on \u003ci\u003ewhy\u003c\/i\u003e the immigrants came to the region, this volume addresses \u003ci\u003ehow\u003c\/i\u003e the newcomers helped construct national identities in the Caribbean, Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In these essays, some of the most respected scholars of migration history examine the range of responses--some welcoming, some xenophobic--to the newcomers. They also look at the lasting effects that Jewish, German, Chinese, Italian, and Syrian immigrants had on the economic, sociocultural, and political institutions. These explorations of assimilation, race formation, and transnationalism enrich our understanding not only of migration to Latin America but also of the impact of immigration on the construction of national identity throughout the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eContributors\u003c\/b\u003e: J rgen Buchenau Jeane DeLaney Nicola Foote Michael Goebel Steven Hyland Jr. Jeffrey Lesser Kathleen L pez Lara Putnam Raanan Rein Stefan Rinke Frederik Schulze\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nicola Foote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813054028\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813054025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Florida\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/10\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 368\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.82d","brand":"Nicola Foote","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43947289247999,"sku":"9780813054025","price":32.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_f308ed04-4319-48e0-9dcc-d1cb2363b5a9.jpg?v=1681517833","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/immigration-and-national-identities-in-nicola-foote-9780813054025","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
