Abstract: Immigration is remaking the United States. But travel to New York or Los Angeles or Miami or San Francisco or Chicago and the multi-ethnic society of tomorrow is already in place. In these capitals of immigrant America, we seem to have returned to the turn of the last century, yet doing so with a distinctive twist: today's urban reality appears unlikely to provide today's newcomers with the same opportunities that their predecessors encountered. Using the latest sources of information, and focusing on the same set of places, this carefully edited volume of original essays looks at the nexus between urban fates and immigrant destinies. Strangers at the Gates sheds new light on the prospects for immigrants' progress and the conditions that will hinder or aid the newest Americans, in their quest to get ahead.
