Reading on your research project and on the history of the United States since 1865.
Instructions
By this point, you have done a lot of reading on your research project and on the history of the United States since 1865. The Collaborative Annotated Bibliography hopefully is bulging with contributions of resources from our course text as well as other source materials you might have discovered in working on your research projects. In this assignment, you will choose a few key sources that will be important to your overall research project and examine them more closely.
Here’s what to do:
Go back to the current issue of interest you identified in Module 1 on U.S. Immigration Restrictions (attached).
· Choose 5 scholarly entries that you intend to use to develop your written assignment on U.S. Immigration Restrictions.
Please do not select a full-length book for this assignment, though you may select chapters from a collection of writings or such things as the primary source documents included in our course text.
Please also DO NOT select the sources entries that you entered in Module 2 or any other non-peer reviewed (or non-refereed) publications. There will be a place for those sources in your final research projects, just not in this assignment.
Please observe the following guidelines in preparing your annotations:
(1) Summarize. What are the main points of this source? What topics are covered? If someone asked what this article/book is about, what would you say?
(2) Assess. How reliable is the information in this source? Is it a peer-reviewed source? If not, what kind of publication or format does it appear in? How useful is it for scholars of U.S. History?
(3) Reflect. How does this source fit into your research? What other research topics might it be useful for? How does it help shape your argument? How does it cause you to think differently about your topic?
(4) Format. As you write your annotations, think short and sweet. The annotation should be 200 words or less, including the author’s name, title, publication, and date. Use the Chicago Style in preparing your annotation. See the sample annotation below as well as the Purdue Online Writing Lab’s sample for a Chicago Style entry. Please also include a web link when applicable.
Please DO NOT use the following sources from the previous module 2, just use as a sample format:
Schacher, Y. (2020). Family separation and lives in limbo: US immigration policy in the 1920s and during the Trump administration. The ANNALS of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, 690(1), 192-199.
This essay discusses policies and practices regarding family breakup among immigrants in the 1920s and today, based on the author’s work with refugees and asylum seekers in the United States. The author describes how limitations on the entrance of relatives cause immigrants and refugees in the United States to feel uneasy and divided using data gathered from historical documents and first-hand interviews with refugees and asylum seekers. The author contrasts the circumstances of the 1920s with those of more modern times when the federal government has implemented measures to limit admittance and obstruct integration. This article will play a crucial role in helping me formulate strong arguments to support my points.
