| Other Immigrants: The Global Origins of the American People. By David M. Reimers. (New York: New York University Press, 2005. x, 389 pp. Cloth, $70.00, ISBN 0-8147-7534-9. Paper, $22.00, ISBN 0-8147-7535-7.)

| This work represents the latest installment in David M. Reimers's continuing studies of American immigration and can be seen as an update of, and complementary volume of social history to, his Still the Golden Door (1985) and Unwelcome Strangers (1998), which were informative histories of immigration and immigration politics in the late twentieth century. Based on a plethora of recent historical and social science monographs, it is an au courant synthesis, inclusive of the post-9/11 scene, describing what the subtitle calls "the global origins of the American people," the immigration from Western Hemisphere countries, Asia, Africa, and the Middle East. |
