Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments: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. Book News Annotation:Funded by a grant from the Andrew Mellon foundation, the 10 studies
in this book look at the impact of immigration on African American
communities and racial and ethnic relations. Topics of the studies
include: the residential segregation of Blacks, Hispanics, and
Asians, 1970-1990; the politics of Black-Korean conflict in New York
City; immigrants, Puerto Ricans, and the earnings of native Black
males; labor market dynamics and the effects of immigration on
African Americans; legislative redistricting and African American
interests; and coalition formation: the Mexican-origin community and
Latinos and African Americans. Jaynes is professor of economics and
African American studies at Yale University.
