Book Description
Chronicles and analyzes the phenomenon of mass emigration to the US for political reasons, which began with the Haitians, came into American consciousness in spring 1980 with the Mariel boatlift from Cuba and the subsequent mass exodus from Central America, and most recently manifested in the Haitian and Cuban exoduses of 1994. Finds that US responses are determined by foreign policy, domestic pressures, and costs. Proposes an approach for future refugee flows in the US and around the world to better meet the needs of both refugees and host citizens. Paper edition (unseen), $19.95.
