Dedication

The United States since its inception has been a nation of immigrants. The success of the country would not be possible without the generations of immigrants who have come to our shores from every corner of the globe. I dedicate this volume to all immigrants around the world who like me, came to this great nation to realize dreams and aspirations.

The lives of most immigrants are dialectic between the memories of the world left behind and the day-to-day struggles of learning the ropes of a new society. Mastering a new language, living and working among strangers, and coping with the unfamiliar. Due to their resiliency, persistence and hard work, many immigrants are innovators, entrepreneurs, creators of new jobs, and vital contributors to the economic well-being of a nation.

To you goes my gratitude,

Mariella Espinoza-Herold

I dedicate this volume to my father, Ernesto Contini, with deep gratitude for his love, wisdom and support.

His academic studies have focused on immigration to the United States and factors affecting the fates of immigrants and their children. He has also done work on shack settlements in Latin America.

We would also like to express our deep appreciation to all the authors in this volume. Their efforts in translating their material into English has been a patient labor of love and perseverance.

Foreword

T he 11 case studies in this volume provide a broad glimpse at the intertwined processes of immigrant transnationalism and incorporation in host communities and countries. As such they add to the mounting evidence concerning the existence and significance of immigrant transnational ties and the simultaneity of both processes: transnationalism and incorporation. The emerging scholarly consensus on these points replaces early traditions that viewed immigration as a one-way escape from misery and want and continuing linkages with sending countries as inimical to successful assimilation to the host society. Today, we know better: immigrants seldom leave for good; instead they maintain multi-tiered linkages with kin, home communities and home countries. Moreover, such ties often accompany and support successful incorporation to receiving communities and nations.
