About the Book
An in-depth look at America's 1990s generation of immigrantsVeteran journalist Sanford J. Ungar draws on interviews conducted coast to coast to document the struggles and successes of immigrants to the US in the 1990s. Unger concludes that the self-chosen who arrive every day, most of them legally, still enrich our national character and experience and make invaluable political, economic, social, cultural, and gastronomic contributions.

"First-class journalism, a book scholars will use decades from now to find out what it 'felt like' to be an immigrant in the 90s. I do not know of a better description and analysis of contemporary immigration."—Roger Daniels, author of Coming to America: A History of Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life
"An excellent overview of contemporary immigration issues set within the context of developments in the past fifty years. Ungar makes a strong case for the contributions of recent immigrants and for maintaining a relatively open door in the face of sometimes shrill opposition."
—Thomas Dublin, editor of Immigrant Voices: New Lives in America
"Exactly the right book at the right time. [Ungar] looks at the national controversy over immigration policy with a clear eye, producing a history and a convincing argument why this is no time to reverse a liberal welcome to newcomers that has always—in good times and bad—made this a better and more prosperous democracy."
—Ben H. Bagdikian, author of Double Vision
