Summary

Many thousands of non-Europeans have settled in the United States since immigration laws changed in the mid-19860s. The contributors state that neither urban specialists nor the general public have fully recognized the effect of immigration on the American city; in this volume they focus on the impact of such immigration. Part One provides basic historical and demographic analyses. Part Two examines specific institutional responses to current problems.
