MIGRATIONS TO AMERICA, 1607 TO PRESENT

Catalog description

Examines the coming together of people from five continents to the United States and provides an overview of shifting patterns of migration both coerced and free to the United States. Starting in the colonial era, when slaves and servants typified the migration to America, this course then follows the migrations of pre-industrial, industrial and post-industrial immigrants; their reception by American institutions and natives; and their efforts to construct communities in a new country.
