LBST 375 - Urban Change and Ethnicity

Institution:

California State University-San Marcos

Subject:

Description:

Focuses on key immigrant-receiving metropolitan areas in the U.S. Discusses relationship between the restructuring of those urban economies and employment/ settlement patterns of immigrants. Focuses on urbanization during two waves of immigration to America since the 1880s: 1) first wave dominated by Europeans from southern, eastern, and central Europe who arrived between 1880 and 1920, and 2) second wave dating from 1965, comprised largely of immigrants from the Western Hemisphere and Asia. A further concern is comparative urban studies: 1) how urban development was differentially shaped over time by the two waves of immigration, and 2) how the urban economies themselves shaped immigrant adaptation.
