HIST 065. Cities of (Im)migrants: Buenos Aires, Lima, Philadelphia, and New York

Why do people move? Who participates in the migration process? How do local political, cultural, and economic conditions and broader global capitalist forces shape individual/family decisions to migrate? What forces mold (im)migrants' adjustments to the new cities? When do (im)migrant groups become communities?
