Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
In this book, Bryan Warde utilizes historical and contemporary frames to examine the attitudes and views surrounding immigration and immigrants in the United States and illuminates how these cultural sentiments informed immigration policies and programs over the country’s history.
MoreLong description:
Inside U.S. Immigration Policy provides a comprehensive introduction to the development of U.S. immigration and immigration policies from the nation's colonial beginnings to the present day.
Written for students of social welfare, social work, public policy, sociology, and history, the book develops a clear and historical framework for understanding current controversies around immigration. Bryan Warde offers a thoroughly researched account of immigration policies spanning 1882 to the present and calls upon theories and ideologies that explain conflicting views and shifting attitudes on immigrants and immigration. The book’s discussion is organized chronologically and each chapter supports students in developing the skills and knowledge to analyze and unpack the extent to which societal structures and values may oppress, marginalize, alienate, create, or enhance privilege and power in the context of immigration policies. It also reveals the forms and mechanisms of oppression and discrimination and leads readers to consider the sociopolitical factors that shape social policy and the provision of services to marginalized populations.
Chapter summaries, timelines, and discussion questions throughout support learning and comprehension and encourage students to grasp the nuances and implications of this vastly important field of study. This book is an excellent addition to a range of undergraduate and graduate courses on social welfare, public policy, social work, sociology, and history.
