Gr 6-10-These titles focus on immigration to the U.S. and, to a lesser extent, Canada, since the 1960s. They cover reasons for emigrating, U.S. and Canadian immigration policy (identical in each book), the groups' settling in and then working to keep their culture alive, problems (illegal border crossings, human smuggling), and the outlook for future immigration. Boxes and appendixes provide expanded coverage on individuals, history, and current policies. The clearly written texts are broken up by full-color or archival black-and-white photographs, as well as by several bar graphs. Unfortunately, some details are incorrect or sloppy. The title of one graph in Mexican Immigration is missing a word, thus making no sense; another has omitted the bar for 1960s immigration and gives a figure for the 1970s at variance with one elsewhere in the text. Independence Day commemorates an 1810, not 1821, date. Indian Immigration shows astronaut Kalpana Chawla as still alive, with no mention of her death February 1, 2003, in the Columbia space shuttle disaster. Cultural details are occasionally incorrect: ahimsa is misspelled as ashimsa; chai is the Hindi word for tea and not specific to heavily spiced tea; a sari, always made out of six or nine yards of fabric, is not worn with a dupatta. These errors are unfortunate, as these books would otherwise be adequate for reports.-Diane S. Marton, Arlington County Library, VA Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
