Library Guides: Anthropology Research Guide: Anth 3AC

Many Paths

Your course assignment requires you to think about an immigration narrative by

documenting the historical conditions of at least two sets of push and pull factors (i.e. political, economic, and social conditions) and
analyzing those factors in terms of how immigration either reproduced or challenged class, gender, and/or racial structures.

The Library subscribes to hundreds of databases including in Anthropology, as History and Political Science. You'll need 3-6 sources besides class readings; wikipedia does not count and only one newspaper or popular magazine article can be cited.
