Publisher Synopsis
"Clark's timely look at California's recent experience with foreign influx clarifies the futures and challenges many communities face in this new demographic era. The local costs and the political tensions aroused can strain a community's social fabric even as the human energy, ambition, and dreams of these determined newcomers enrich the nation they would join.
