Each of the alphabetically arranged articles in Issues in U.S. Immigration opens with the type of ready-reference top matter for which Salem Press's reference works are well known. The first entry following every title is a brief passage that defines or identifies the article's subject. Articles on such subjects as events, court cases, organizations, and laws have additional entries that provide dates and places, as relevant. The next item in every article is a brief italicized statement summarizing its subject's significance. Readers can thus see the most essential information about every topic at a glance.
A new feature in this edition is a collection of state essays discussing regional differences within the United States. Averaging nearly 1,000 words in length, essays focus on the unique immigration histories of each state and provide tables summarizing demographic data. Finally, every article is followed by an annotated list of Further Readings and cross-references to other articles on closely related subjects.
