"This book provides an original perspective on American immigration that transcends the standard compartmentalization of American immigration into separate Atlantic-European and Pacific-Asian spheres and narratives that has blocked a fuller view of inter-regionalism and globalism. In contrast, this volume reveals modern migration to the U.S. as a bridge connecting the multiple peoples of the Atlantic and Pacific regions. It focuses on cross-cultural change and mutual adaptation between European and Asianimmigrants, an innovative process that produced global diversity and multicultural convergence"--Provided by publisher.
