Hinda Seif, of the University of California, Berkeley, reviews American Arrivals: Anthropology Engages the New Immigration, by Nancy Foner. The book discusses anthropology’s distinctive role in the study of migration and how the field can contribute to migration as an academic discipline. The text is organized not by geographic region, but by fields of study that anthropology has contributed to, such as globalization, gender, education, the study of generations, and medical anthropology.
