Explore the history of American immigration from the early colonists to the modern day with an emphasis on how different immigrant groups have faced discrimination and obstacles in their search for freedom. Author’s Note. Bibliography. Index.

There are some not-perfect things about this book, including its being outdated (written in 2015, so not old, per se, but a lot has happened immigration-wise in 6 years) and the author several times using the term "illegal" to describe people rather than their immigration status, which is inaccurate at best.
