Race migrations

About this book

"In this groundbreaking study of Puerto Rican and Dominican migration to the United States, Wendy D. Roth explores the influence of migration on changing cultural conceptions of race--for the newcomers, for their host society, and for those who remain in the countries left behind. ... Roth shows how several systems of racial classification and stratification coexist in the minds of individuals and in their shared cultural understandings of 'how race works.'" --back cover.
