Seeking Common Ground: Multidisciplinary Studies of Immigrant Women in the United States by Donna Gabaccia (Hardcover, 1992)

Seeking Common Ground is an interdisciplinary reader focusing on immigrant women in the United States. By providing a basis for comparison between both different ethnic groups and different disciplinary approaches, the volume aims to encourage interdisciplinary communication and research. The volume begins with three chapters by an historian, a sociologist and an anthropologist, summarising the way research on immigrant women has developed in the three disciplines. Parts Two and Three provide empirical and interpretive essays on immigrant women from Europe, Latin America and Asia. The chapters explore such themes as women in the migration process, the role of gender in the creation of American ethnic identities, and the comparability of today's immigrant women with those of the past. The work should be of interest to individuals from all disciplines who are concerned with women's studies in general and immigrant women in particular.
