FROM ALL POINTS:

America's Immigrant West, 1870s-1952

By Elliott Robert Barkan

"This richly detailed history of immigrants in the 20th-century American West rewards the reader with close attention to individual voices of immigrants." ­Walter Nugent, author of Into the West: The Story of Its People

By the end of the 20th century the American West was home to nearly half of America's immigrant population, including Asians and Armenians, Germans and Greeks, Mexicans, Italians, Swedes, Basques, and others. Covering nine decades of Western American history and the experiences of over twenty ethnic groups, this magisterial book tells their rich and complex story ­ of adaptation and isolation, maintaining and mixing traditions, and an ongoing ebb and flow of movement, assimilation, and replenishment.
