In Immigrant Workers in Industrialized France, Gary Cross blazed the trail of immigrant studies with this finely wrought study at the crossroads of labor studies and immigration history. Cross inaugurated in-depth research into the ways in which France welcomed immigrants from the 1880s onward. n an era where many receiving states seek to enforce the "faucet" function Cross so well describes -- opening borders when needed, closing them when perceived not to be -- it is important to read and reread Cross's work.
