In this distinctive study of the impact of immigration and ethnicity on twentieth-century America; Barkan thoughtfully examines the changing composition of our immigrant populations; highlighting the ways in which certain facets of the struggle to adapt to American society have persisted from the 1920s until the 1990s. Going beyond the immigrant experience; Barkan considers the ways in which second- and third-generation Americans stress integration; even as they cling to important components of their ethnicity; not only adapting to American culture but shaping it. Featuring a moving photographic essay and coming alive with first-person accounts; And Still They Come is certain to provide important food for thought as Americans once more consider the narrowing gateways to the nation.
