Immigration has significant consequences for all Americans, but especially for African Americans. The sheer magnitude of immigrationit is the primary factor driving population growthis so large that it directly or indirectly affects the economic, political, social, and environmental circumstances of most Americans. But the geographic concentration of immigrants in urban areas, and the economic concentration of immigrants in the low-wage sector of the labor market, means that immigration has special consequences for African Americans, since they are especially likely to live in urban areas and to be low-wage workers. This volume presents research and analysis that reflects and advances the debates about the economic and political consequences of immigration for African Americans.
