She still finds herself viewed as \"foreign,\" while her husband's family, with more recent roots in Europe, is considered fully assimilated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhy? While all immigrants can face hardship, alienation, and a loss of cultural identity, only the European-born are offered full belonging as Americans. Immigrants do not just assimilate into America, Molina argues: They assimilate into a racial hierarchy. Drawing on over 150 years of immigration history, personal and family narratives, and more than two decades of research, Molina shows how legal structures and cultural narratives have racialized Latinos as perpetual outsiders. Through vivid storytelling and sharp analysis, \u003cem\u003eThe Other Immigrant Story\u003c\/em\u003e interrogates the myths surrounding assimilation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Natalia Molina\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393881903\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393881905\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
