This elegant book--theoretically precise, empirically robust, and analytically savvy--will become the standard by which all subsequent scholarship on the sociology of immigration will be measured. I am buying an extra copy today to send to the new President of the United States."--Marcelo M. Suarez-Orozco, Professor and Co-Director, The Harvard Immigration Projects, Harvard University ""Legacies" is an indispensable guide to understanding how the children of today's immigrants will become the Americans of the 21st Century. For both scholars and the public, it should be essential reading, for it explains why today's approaches to ethnic incorporation will not only fail, but will backfire, yielding a second generation that is "less" assimilated than it might otherwise be."--Doug Massey, co-author of "Worlds in Motion: Understanding International Migration at the End of the Millennium" "Using a unique storehouse of information, and telling a story with analytic precision and grace, Portes and Rumbaut provide a glimpse into the future that is now. "Legacies" is an important book, one that should be widely and carefully read."--Roger Waldinger, author of "Still the Promised City? African Americans and New Immigrants in PostIndustrial New York" ""Legacies" demonstrates that there is more than one immigrant experience, and more than one second generation. It is a path-setting study, because the diversity among the most recent newcomers, and the varied ties and discontinuities between them and their children, will be the key to understanding race and ethnic relations in this country in the 21st Century."--John Logan, co-author of "Urban Fortunes: The Political Economy of Place" "Portes and Rumbaut allow the diverse voices of the new second-generation immigrants to speak, both in vignettes of their life stories and in clear analytical accounts of their schooling, attitudes, and identities. The authors provide a compelling analysis that is both inspiring and troubling."--Charles Hirschman, co-editor of "The Handbook of International Migration" ""Legacies" is itself a legacy--of one of the most ambitious projects ever undertaken to study the integration of the children of immigrants in a nation that styles itself as the nation of immigrants. Portes and Rumbaut have now donated the wealth of insights gained from this project to our common weal, and no one who cares about the American future can afford to ignore what they have to say. It deserves to be read and discussed not only by scholars but also by policymakers and the general public."--Richard Alba, author of "Ethnic Identity: The Transformation of White America" "An extraordinary analysis of a contemporary condition that has not yet been fully recognized by our policymakers and commentators: The millions of second generation immigrants who will be a major part of our future. Portes and Rumbaut show the importance of developing intelligent policy."--Saskia Sassen, author of "Guests and Aliens"Hide synopsis
