Relying on statistical data and ethnographic information, the authors analyze four different dimensions of the immigrant integration process (economic, social, cultural, and political) and show that there is no single path for its achievement, but instead an array of strategies that yield different results. However, their analysis also shows that immigrants' successful integration essentially depends upon their legal status and long residence in the region. The book shows that, despite this finding, immigrants nevertheless decide to settle in Los Angeles, the place where they have made their homes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rafael Alarcon, Luis Escala, Olga Odgers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0520284860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780520284869\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of California Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/08\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 280\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.70d","brand":"Rafael Alarcon","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180126527743,"sku":"9780520284869","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3cb1a715-36ae-4803-802d-c673ec3b9fbe.jpg?v=1712897547","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/making-los-angeles-home-rafael-alarcon-9780520284869","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
