Indian Immigrants

Gr 7–10—Most of these titles were published in Mason Crest's "The Changing Face of North America" set from 2004 and retain much of their original format and most of their chapter topics. The amount of revision varies. Refugees, Cuban Immigrants, and Middle Eastern Immigrants each have had substantial changes made to their historical and current information. Others, such as South American, have fewer tweaks, mostly new statistics and updates based on recent events. Coverage is objective, and the books are well written and describe the "push" and "pull" factors that draw immigrants to North America and how the Canadian and U.S. governments and their respective citizens have responded to different groups and circumstances. There is more material on the United States than on Canada. This set's current data is good, but revisions aren't total, and some popular culture references are dated—a significant weakness.
