An examination of how migration and settlement patterns have varied for students from linguistically and culturally diverse backgrounds throughout US history. It features case studies and suggests how schools, communities and universities can address the needs of these students.

This volume focuses on Appalachians as a case study of internal migration in developed countries. While earlier works have concentrated on the migration process, jobs, housing, and ethnic group formation in urban settings, this volume addresses the important issues of health, environment, and education in the urban Appalachian context.
