美国当代外来移民的成因及特征分析

The Characteristics and Causes of Immigration in Contemporary America

在美国与各移民输出国的政治、经济、社会变革以及移民网络与移民文化等因素的共同作用下,外来移民于战后60年代起掀起了一次涌向美国的新浪潮。新移民的类别更加多样化,教育水平呈现出两极化的特征,在居住模式上呈现出集中与分散并存的趋势。

The influx of the mass immigration has reached a new peak since World War Ⅱ ,and especially post-1965. The new tide of immigration is the result of many factors, such as the politics, economy, social change of USA and the immigration sending countries,as well as the networks and culture of immigration. New immigrants have many new and unprecedented characteristics. They are more diversified than those who entered America earlier ,and their educational level is polarized,and their geographical distributions are both clustered and dispersed.
