Repositioning North American Migration History: New Directions in Modern Continental Migration, Citizenship, and Community. Ed. by Marc S. Rodriguez. (Rochester: University of Rochester Press, 2004. xxvi, 418 pp. $80.00, ISBN 1-58046-158-1.)

This edited volume centers on a simple premise: that migration entails similarities at the social and experiential level whether or not it involves crossing international borders. These commonalities transcend juridical and policy categories. Internal migrants and border crossers come from and enter into complex communities. All migrants constitute bridges between distinct communities. The changes wrought by the migration experience on both the sending and receiving communities, as well as on migrants themselves, can provide the basis for understanding links to the past in contemporary experiences.
