As part of its mission to examine and critique American immigration policy, the Center for Immigration 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 very 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 continues its annual compilation of doctoral dissertations (plus a few master's theses) exploring some aspect of immigration; this issue lists those completed in 1999. Abstracts of the dissertations listed below can be viewed free of charge through the end of this year (and complete copies obtained for a fee) from ProQuest Digital Dissertations at http://wwwlib.umi.com/dissertations. Dissertations listings are also available for 1998 and 1997. For ease of use, the list is organized
into categories: Policy/Politics, Migration
Process/Networks, Economics/Labor,
Acculturation/Ethnicity, Language,
Education/Schools, Women/Families,
Health, Religion, History,
Canada, and Overseas. However,
the categories are necessarily subjective and some items could as easily
have been listed under a different heading. Therefore, those interested
in a particular topic might nonetheless want to peruse the entire list.
