Immigration in American History by
Immigration in American History is a concise examination of the experiences of immigrants from the founding of the British colonies through the present day. The most recent scholarship on immigration is integrated into an accessible narrative that embraces the multicultural nature of U.S. immigration history, keeping issues of race and power at the center of the book. Organized chronologically, this book highlights how the migration experience evolved over time and examines the interactions that occurred between different groups of migrants and the native-born. From the first interactions between the Native Americans and English colonizers at Jamestown, to the present-day debates over unauthorized immigration, the book helps students chart the evolution of American attitudes towards immigration and immigration policies and better contextualize present-day debates over immigration. The voices of immigrants are brought to the forefront in a poignant selection of primary source documents, and a glossary and "who's who" provide students with additional context for the people and concepts featured in the text. This book will be of interest to students and scholars of American immigration history and immigration policy history.
From your NRSG 115 Project description, the culture presentation should include:
Nursing Considerations must be included throughout the entire presentation. This information must include what is required to provide culturally competent healthcare to clients in the United States and must be relevant to today’s society. The presentation should be written as if you are the nurse walking into the room to provide care to a culturally diverse client. Role-playing is highly recommended.
