Immigration: Select Documents and Case Records is a foundational collection of primary sources and historical case studies compiled by Edith Abbott, a pioneering figure in social work and social statistics. This comprehensive work offers an in-depth look at the complex reality of migration to the United States during the early 20th century. Through a curated selection of legal documents, official reports, and poignant case records, the book examines the social, economic, and legal challenges faced by immigrants during this transformative era.

The text is organized to provide a clear understanding of the administrative processes, the impact of immigration laws, and the individual human experiences behind the statistics. By presenting original source materials, Abbott allows readers to explore the intricacies of steerage conditions, admission and exclusion policies, and the role of social agencies in helping new arrivals adjust to American life. This volume serves as an essential resource for scholars of sociology, American history, and social policy, providing a rigorous and empathetic examination of the immigrant experience. Immigration: Select Documents and Case Records remains a vital document for understanding the historical roots of contemporary migration issues and the evolution of social services in the United States.
