Both the work on immigration of Eastern Europeans, and the exposition of British Object Relations Theory with its application to the three case studies and their immigration issues are important, worthwhile contributions to the literature.” -- Alan Roland, PhD, author of Journeys to Foreign Selves: Asians and Asian Americans in a Global Era
