  • A Nation of Immigrants Reconsidered

    Open AccessRonald H BayorARTICLEJournal of American History2020

    This anthology, which consists of three parts and twelve essays plus an afterword, provides an excellent analysis of immigration policy changes in the 1924–1965 period. Concentrating on the time between the 1924 Johnson-Reed Immigration Act and the 1965 Immigration and Nationality Act, the book reveals much about immigration history that heretofore has been obscured. The policy shifts during this period foreshadow the transformations leading to a…

  • Protecting America’s Borders and the Undocumented Immigrant Dilemma

    David G Gutiérrez, David Gutiérrez et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    This chapter provides a broad overview of the evolution of the debate concerning unauthorized migration and border control, focusing in particular on the tension and mutual antagonism that has historically existed between those who advocate strict policies of border enforcement and those who, primarily for economic reasons, tend to promote more lenient immigration policies. Particular emphasis is given to the development of U.S. immigration law, …

  • Whiteness and Race

    David R Roediger, David Roediger et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    This article situates the growing literature on European immigration to the United States and white racial identity in the larger body of research on immigration history and in inspirations from literature and social theory. It places the new work, debates among those producing it, and critical responses to it within historiography and recent political debates. Differences over the utility of the idea that immigrants “became white” in the United …

  • Race and U.S. Panethnic Formation

    Yen Le Espiritu, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    Panethnicity refers to the development of bridging organizations and the generalization of solidarity among subgroups that are racialized to be homogeneous by outsiders. This chapter argues that while the formation of a consolidated white identity in the United States is self-motivated and linked to white privilege, panethnicity for people of color is a product of racial categorization and bound up with power relations. As the influx of new immig…

  • Machine Bosses, Reformers, and the Politics of Ethnic and Minority Incorporation

    Steven P Erie, Vladimir Kogan et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    Throughout American history, political party organizations have served both as effective forces of political incorporation of newly arriving immigrants and as powerful barriers to fuller representation for minority groups. This chapter examines how urban political leaders and institutions have shaped the political emergence or suppression of ethnic groups from the Civil War era to the early twenty-first century. With particular focus on New York …

  • Assimilation in the Past and Present

    R Alba, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    The notion of assimilation by immigrant groups remains beset by conceptual confusion. An examination of the way that assimilation developed in the American past, especially in the period after World War II, provides a way of cutting through the conceptual fog. Key features of historical assimilation are captured by the definition of the concept in neo-assimilation theory. However, debate over the present-day role of mainstream assimilation has be…

  • Historians and Sociologists Debate Transnationalism

    P Kivisto, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    This article examines the role played by the idea of transnationalism in immigrant studies during the past quarter of a century. It does so by first reviewing its developmental phase, which was influenced by a postnational perspective that contended that the salience of the nation-state was declining and by an epistemological critique of methodological nationalism . This is followed by an overview of the main claims of the critics, followed by su…

  • The Myth of Ethnic Success

    Stephen Steinberg, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    Since its inception, social science has spawned a succession of theories that purport to explain differential rates of ethnic mobility as a byproduct of the cultural values of the groups themselves. The fatal flaw of these theories is that they reify culture by failing to examine its anchorage in history and social structure, eliding the very factors that produce and reproduce these value systems. This chapter critiques two theoretical propositio…

  • European Migrations

    Dirk Hoerder, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    The essay begins with the “imperial intrusions” into Native Peoples’ cultural spaces and the eighteenth-century (re-)peopling of the American colonies. It discusses the caesura and new patterns from the Revolution to industrialization. It emphasizes migrant agency and decision-making in the frame of Europe’s societies-economies of origin. The arriving, fully socialized men and women form ethnocultural groups with fuzzy borders and acculturate acc…

  • New Approaches in Teaching Immigration and Ethnic History

    John J Bukowczyk, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    This chapter provides a review of scholarly literature in the field of immigration and ethnic history that introduces readers to recent and major lines of research, problems, and themes. The literature discussed in this chapter and that appears in the notes provides both a basic and advanced graduate-level reading list for teaching and study.

  • The Impact of Immigration Legislation

    David Reimers, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    Racism and economics account for the first laws directed at Chinese and Japanese. Entering as “picture brides,” Japanese women evaded the Gentlemen’s Agreement of 1907-1908 between the United States and Japan, but by use of the naturalization qualifications in the 1920s, Congress effectively closed the door to Asian immigration. For southern and eastern Europeans, national-origin quotas of the same decade cut their immigration drastically. After …

  • Ethnicity, Race, and Religion beyond Protestant, Catholic, and Jewish Whites

    R Stephen Warner, Jesse H Wright et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    As argued by Will Herberg in the 1950s, religion remains a key to the incorporation of minority groups in America, notwithstanding—indeed, precisely because of—the fact that post-1965 immigrants to the United States have been overwhelmingly nonwhites of non-European origin. In contrast to the increasingly secular culture of Europe, the cultures of the Asian, Middle Eastern, Latin American, and African countries of origin of most of today’s immigr…

  • Immigration and Ethnic Diversity in the South, 1980–2010

    Mary E Odem, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    In the last decades of the twentieth century, the U.S. South became a major new immigrant destination. Largely bypassed by immigrants in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the Southeast is now home to millions of people from Latin America, Asia, Africa, and the Caribbean. A region historically defined by a black/white racial divide has become a multi-ethnic, multiracial society over the course of just two decades. This essay exami…

  • African American Migration from the Colonial Era to the Present

    Joe William Trotter, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    This essay explores several overlapping waves of black population movement from the African background through the early twenty-first century. It shows how enslaved people dominated the first two great migrations—from Africa to the tobacco-producing colonies of British North America and later from the Upper South to the cotton-producing lands of the Deep South. In the wake of the Civil War and the emancipation of some 4 million enslaved people, t…

  • Immigration, Ethnicity, Race, and Organized Crime

    Will Cooley, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2014

    How immigration and ethnicity shaped delinquent youth groups (gangs) and adult organized crime syndicates (mobs) is examined. Ethnicity has played a key role in these organizations. Gangs and mobs used ethnic ties as an organizing principle to foster trust in their illicit activities. Scholars have usually applied the theory of ethnic succession to account for the changes in supremacy over the informal economy. Yet scholars have attached too much…

  • Emancipation and Exploitation in Immigrant Women’s Lives

    Donna R Gabaccia, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2013

    Because the United States celebrates itself as a beacon of liberty, emancipation is one of the most common themes in the history of immigrant women and the exploitation of women, as workers or as wives, tends to be traced to the patriarchy of foreign communities or immigrant men rather than to unequal American gender relations. At least since the colonial era, opportunities for immigrant women from Europe to expand their own sense of personal aut…

  • Neighborhoods, Immigrants, and Ethnic Americans

    Amanda I Seligman, Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2013

    One way that American urbanites have traditionally made sense of the city’s landscape is through the concept of the neighborhood. Clustering in urban neighborhoods brought immigrant Americans into contact with members of other ethnic communities. Relations between groups varied from hostile to amicable, with variations depending on gender, age, generation, group size, and city size. Interethnic alliances, however, stopped at racial lines; until t…

  • Asian Immigration

    Madeline Y Hsu, Madeline Hsu et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of American…2013

    Global patterns of labor markets, trade, international relations, and war have contributed to the complicated heterogeneity of Asian American populations and history. Although often coded as “model minorities,” ethnic Asians are characterized by vast disparities in homeland, cultural and religious practices, migration trajectories, educational and professional attainment, degrees of integration, and transnational formations.

  • The Oxford Handbook of American Immigration and Ethnicity

    Ronald H BayorBOOKOxford Handbook of American…2013

    The Oxford Handbook of American Immigration and Ethnicity explores how Americans think of themselves and how science, religion, period of migration, gender, education, politics, intermarriage, and occupational mobility shape both this image and American life. Since the 1965 Immigration Act opened the gates to newer groups, historical writing on immigration and ethnicity has evolved over the years to include numerous immigrant sources and to provi…
