Immigration

Throughout history, nations developing their immigration policies have had to grapple with the tension between maintaining a national identity and welcoming new immigrants and the distinct ideas, contributions and cultures they bring.

In recent years there has been a significant rise in migration, and now over 190 million people live outside of the country in which they were born. The United States has more immigrants than any other country, but in many other countries immigrants make up a higher percentage of the population.

We have many resource books, study guides, videos, lesson plans and web links to help students explore the topic of immigration, especially as it relates to issues of identity, belonging and membership.
