Chronicles the struggles of immigrants who have fled their homelands in search of a better life in the United States, only to be marginalized by the society that they hoped would embrace them. This book argues that marginalization fosters antagonism within ethnic groups while undermining the ethnic solidarity emphasized by scholars of immigration.
