Jacob L. Vigdor is professor of public policy studies at Duke University.
Jacob Vigdor's From Immigrants to Americans is a lucid analysis of
a central and enduring issue in our society. No other recent study
of this subject matches it in economic sophistication and
historical depth. It is enriched by an abundant supply of graphs
and tables, allowing readers to assess for themselves the evidence
upon which the author's interpretations rest.
*Stephan Thernstrom, Winthrop Research Professor of History,
Harvard University*
This is a fascinating look at immigration as Americans continue to
ponder the relative merits of the melting pot versus the salad
bowl.
*Booklist*
Vigdor's balanced analysis is important reading for anyone
interested in immigration adaptation in the US.... Highly
recommended.
*Choice Reviews*
Jacob Vigdor has written a must-read book on immigrant
assimilation. The book examines a wide range of issues relating to
the assimilation experience. It is sure to become a standard
reference in this increasingly important social policy issue.
*Geroge Borjas, Robert W. Scrivner Professor of Economics and
Social Policy at the Harvard Kennedy School*
Vigdor presents some fascinating empirical findings.
