The real and potential impact of immigration policy decisions on African Americans is profound. Yet policy makers today lack systematic knowledge of crucial social, political, and economic issues relating to the formulation of wise immigration policies, charges the editor of this book. Gerald D. Jaynes argues that little is known about important questions regarding the relations and attitudes between African Americans and minority immigrant groups, the impact of recent immigration trends on the socioeconomic status of poor African American, the comparative social positions of Asian Americans and Latinos, and many other related topics. In this book, the editor and thirteen other distinguished contributors consider how the large-scale influx of immigrants in recent times has affected African American communities and racial and ethnic relations. The insights about conflicts and competition derived from the work of these authors are vital to those who formulate immigration policies -- policies that directly affect the well-being of the disadvantaged and indeed all Americans.

4.0 out of 5 stars
What?!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Immigration and Race: New Challenges for American Democracy (Paperback)
The guy who wrote the above review is obviously a jealous and insecure idiot who resorts to smarmy intellectual one-liners and name calling instead of intelligiable reviews. The "John Gray of economics?" Please, no one would even understand what such a pretentious comment means. Obviously he doesn't understand unpretentous academic writing that doesn't resort to name dropping.

The John Gray of economics,
By A Customer
This review is from: Immigration and Race: New Challenges for American Democracy (Hardcover)
This book is a complete waste of time. The prose are quite long-winded and boring. Moreover Jaynes' theories make little sense are often inconsistent with economic theory, and are supported only tangentially by the evidence he provides in this book. After reading this book, I can only think that Gerald Jaynes is to economics what John Gray is to psychology.
