Immigration and the United States

(Spring 1956)


From The New International, Vol. XXII No. 1, Spring 1956, pp. 66.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for the Encyclopaedia of Trotskyism On-Line (ETOL).


Immigration and the United States
edited by Poyntz Tyler
H.W. Wilson Co., 201 pp., $2.00, 1956.

Here is an odd assortment of articles and fragments of articles that have already been published elsewhere. Their source is as wide-ranging as their subject matter. The reader will find comment for and against the McCarran-Walter Act as well as observations on the immigration problem in the early days of the Republic. Articles are reprinted from newspapers and periodicals as different as the New York Journal-American and the Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science. Best of all is the format: the thin pocket-sized volume will take up little space on your shelf.
