Through case studies of immigrant gateway metro areas, this book examines evolving immigrant integration and receptivity processes in established and previously overlooked regions in the United States, and provides a resource to contextualize ongoing changes in new destination metropolitan regions.
Despite the velocity and scale of the cumulative changes of immigrant integration and receptivity infrastructures in fast growing regions of the United States, less research has focused on the new and evolving experiences in these regions in recent years. Editors Paul N. McDaniel and Darlene Xiomara Rodriguez and the contributors in Integration and Receptivity in Immigrant Gateway Metro Regions in the United States fill this gap through case studies of different types of immigrant gateway metro areas. They provide insight into how immigrant settlement, integration, and receptivity processes and practices within each metro area have continued to evolve beyond the nascent experiences documented in the early 2000s. This interdisciplinary volume examines ongoing processes in not only well-established immigrant gateways, but also in previously overlooked regions. This book is a resource for researchers, students, and practitioners to contextualize the ongoing changes in new destination metropolitan regions in the United States and to learn from the challenges, opportunities, and best practices emerging from different metropolitan regional contexts.

Paul N. McDaniel is associate professor of geography in the Department of Geography and Anthropology at Kennesaw State University. Darlene Xiomara Rodriguez is associate professor of social work and human services at Kennesaw State University.
