Denied Detained Deported Stories from the Dark Side of American Immigration by Ann Bausum

Bausum examines the dark side of the history of American immigration from the holocaust refugees that were turned away, the detainment of Japanese Americans, and the Mexican migrant workers who were exploited. Bausum’s opinion of U.S. immigration policies is made abundantly clear from the very first page. Photographs, a timeline, and an extensive bibliography help round out this well-researched examination of the bleak aspects of American immigration. Though narrow in focus, this book provides interesting parallels to recent immigration policy and is a solid resource for teens doing research papers.
