Part of the Yale Chronicles of America series, this survey runs from the colonial founding stock and the forced migration of enslaved Africans to utopian communities, the Irish and German waves of the nineteenth century, and the great influx from southern and eastern Europe and Asia. It covers steerage crossings, labour, politics and the debates over restriction.
