Italians Then Mexicans Now or Office Procedures in Managed Health Care

Italians Then, Mexicans Now: Immigrant Origins and Second-Generation Progress, 1890 to 2000

Author: Joel Perlmann

"In Italians Then, Mexicans Now, Joel Perlmann offers a sustained comparison of immigrant and second-generation wellbeing over the past hundred years. Using the latest immigration data from the census and other recent studies - as well as a century of census data - Perlmann paints a more optimistic picture of immigrant prospects than is envisioned by many other scholars of immigration." Rich with historical data, Italians Then, Mexicans Now persuasively argues that today's Mexican immigrants are making slow but steady socioeconomic progress and may one day reach parity with earlier immigrant groups who moved up into the heart of American middle-class society.
