Abstract "If California were its own country, it would have the world's fourth largest immigrant population. How these newcomers are integrated into the state will not only shape its schools, workforce, business, public health, politics, and culture, but also that of the entire country, and beyond. This is the contention that David FitzGerald and John Skrentny open with in this unique volume. Composed of a who's who of top immigration scholars from across the state, Immigrant California addresses comprehensively the issues related to the process of becoming Californian, and, ultimately, becoming American"-- Provided by publisher.
