Two important new guides provide excellent analysis of modern social issues. Nancy Foner's IN A NEW LAND; A COMPARATIVE VIEW OF IMMIGRATION (0814727468) uses historical and modern research to provide new insights into today's immigrants and how they are affecting societies around the world. A comparative approach contrasts different ethnic newcomers with those from Europe a century ago, and between major US cities, with an eye to viewing processes of immigrant integration. A fascinating survey. Tom DeLuca and John Buell's LIARS! CHEATERS! EVILDOERS! DEMONIZATION AND THE END OF CIVIL DEBATE IN AMERICAN POLITICS (0814719759) considers the latest tendency to attach good/evil values to international political and social issues. The rise of the 'demonization' of American politics, charted by professor Tom DeLuca and columnist John Buell, provides thought-provoking analysis of the long-term effects of such demonization, and how it can be reversed to create a more productive environment.
