The third volume of The Newest Americans explains why many of the recent immigrants from India have decided to become American citizens rather than returning to their home country. Students will learn about early immigrants from Iran and Iraq, and how their experiences differ from those of more recent immigrants. Also covered are the reasons immigrants from Jamaica and Kenya are often surprised and dismayed when they encounter prejudice from Americans of all backgrounds, and ways by which both Korean immigrants and Laotian refugees work to maintain their cultural identity and traditions, even as their children embrace the new American culture.

The fourth volume of The Newest Americans reveals how some Mexicans suddenly became Mexican Americans when boundary lines between the neighboring countries shifted in the 19th century. Mexican customs and traditions that have become part of American life, especially in the southwestern United States, are presented and examined. Students will learn how the arrival of a huge number of Cuban refugees affected the reception of refugees from Nicaragua. Also explored are the forces driving many Nigerians to immigrate to the United States, the business success of Pakistanis and Poles, and the reasons that Puerto Ricans experience many of the same challenges as immigrant groups, despite their being U.S. citizens.
