James P. Shenton and Kevin Kenny

This essay details the significant modifications that the study of American ethnicity and immigration has undergone since the 1960s, as historians have begun to reappraise, reconsider, and revise the history of American immigration and ethnicity as a whole. The essay focuses on the analysis and reinterpretation of such traditional concepts as "the melting pot" and cultural pluralism. Also discussed are decreases in European immigration, increases in immigration from Asia and Latin America, and changes in U.S. immigration policies.

James P. Shenton is a professor of history at Columbia University. Kevin Kenny is an assistant professor of history at the University of Texas at Austin.
