Emmigration from Latin America and Asia has influenced every aspect of social; political; economic; and cultural life in the United States over the last quarter century. Within the vast scholarship on this wave of immigration; however; little attention has been paid to queer immigrants of color. Focusing particularly on migration from Mexico; Cuba; El Salvador; and the Philippines; Queer Migrations brings together scholars of immigration; citizenship; sexuality; race; and ethnicity to provide analyses of the norms; institutions; and discourses that affect queer immigrants of color; also providing ethnographic studies of how these newcomers have transformed established immigrant communities in Miami; San Francisco; and New York.

Very Interesting BookBy Penny AyersThis book is very neat. It has actual accounts from people who immigrated to the U.S. and went through the Ellis Island. The letters are categorized by country of origin. I would recommend this to anyone who is interested in the history of Ellis Island and immigration.
