"Ethnicities is a timely and important book. Rumbaut and Portes have brought together a group of stimulating essays by leading scholars in immigration studies that deal with issues at the heart of debates about the new second generation. From Mexicans to Vietnamese and Haitians, the essays show how the children of immigrants in diverse groups are faring and, in different ways, 'becoming American.' This volume is sure to become a standard reference for future research in the field." - Nancy Foner, author of Fram Ellis Island to JFK: New York's Two Great Waves of Immigration
