A Diplomatic History of US Immigration during the 20th Century
Bloomsbury Academic (Verlag)
978-1-350-15824-5 (ISBN)
Comparing the immigration experiences of Chinese, Japanese, Mexicans, Cubans, Central Americans and Vietnamese, this book highlights how the US viewed each group throughout the American century, the various factors that have shaped US immigration, and the ways in which these debates influenced relations with the wider world. Using a comparative approach, Montoya offers an insight into the themes that have surrounded immigration, its role in forming a national identity and the ways in which changing historical contexts have shaped and re-shaped conversations about immigrants in the United States.
This account helps us better understand the implications and importance of immigration throughout the American century, and informs present-day debates surrounding the issue.
Benjamin Montoya is an Associate Professor of History at Schreiner University in Kerrville, Texas, USA. He is the author of Risking Immeasurable Harm: Immigration Restriction and U.S.-Mexican Diplomatic Relations, 1924-1932 (2020) and co-editor of Beyond 1917: The United States and the Global Legacies of the Great War (2017).
