The first of two planned volumes, From All Points is a sweeping overview of American immigration history from the 1870s to the 1950s and its particular implications for the U.S. West. Emphasizing the diversity of peoples who entered the region during this time period, their mobility, and their critical contributions to western economic development, Barkan seemingly sets out to cover all points in this encyclopedic volume. |
