More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
Almost All Aliens offers a unique reinterpretation of immigration in the history of the United States. Leaving behind the traditional melting-pot model of immigrant assimilation, Paul Spickard puts forward a fresh and provocative reconceptualization that embraces the multicultural reality of immigration that has always existed in the United States. His astute study illustrates the complex relationship between ethnic identity and race, slavery, and colonial expansion. Examining not only the lives of those who crossed the Atlantic, but also those who crossed the Pacific, the Caribbean, and the North American Borderlands, Almost All Aliens provides a distinct, inclusive analysis of immigration and identity in the United States from 1600 until the present.

Greatest Book on Race Formation in the US...ever!
28 Jun 2010
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of the greatest books I have ever read. It really lays down the facts about the founding of the US and the implications for all minority groups involved. I feel as though everything I have been taught in public school was a fabricated enhancement of white power (I am white by the way). Finally, all the facts are in one place. I think every person in America should read this book.

Good for perspective
8 Feb 2009
Format:Paperback
This book is written rather heavily in the voice of Spickard. His views and perspectives are bold and must be taken into consideration when reading, though he is dedicated and thorough in his work. He uses pie charts throughout to show the changing demographic, which is nice. He also is very picky about the terms he uses, making sure that the ideas behind the words are correctly chosen.
I use it for my race and ethnicity class and find it to be useful, though sometimes in conflict with lectures and other sources. I'm not saying Spickard has his facts wrong, but that history involves multiple angles and his is but one good one.
