July 1999 As part of its mission to examine and critique American immigration policy, the Center for Immigra-tion Studies serves as a resource for policymakers, journalists, academics, and others looking for the latest immigration research and news. Through its e-mail news services (CISNEWS and This Week in Immigration), papers, books, and this monthly Backgrounder series, the Center strives to provide in-depth coverage of this complicated issue. The vastness of the topic, however, means that those involved in one facet of the issue can't keep up with developments elsewhere. In order to make the task less daunting, the Center has compiled a list of doctoral dissertations completed in 1998 exploring some aspect of immigration. Full abstracts can be seen, and complete copies obtained for a fee, from ProQuest Digital Dissertations at http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations.
For ease of use, the list is organized into categories: Policy, Economy/Demography, Acculturation/Ethnicity, Language, Education/Schools, Health, Women's Issues, The Elderly, Religion, History, Non-U.S. Immigration, and Family. However, the categories are necessarily subjective: The dissertation
entitled "The Global Servants: (Im)migrant Filipina Domestic Workers
in Rome and Los Angeles" could as easily have been listed under Women's
Issues as under Economy/Demography. Therefore, those interested in a particular
topic might nonetheless want to peruse the entire list. California Dreaming: Operation Gatekeeper and the Social
