"The comparison of the experiences of the first wave of immigrants depicted in Oscar Handlin's "The Uprooted" with those of contemporary immigrants illuminated not only obvious differences but also many similarities. Contrary to the theoretical model of assimilation that has been used to encapsulate the early immigrants' experiences in America, Handlin's book highlighted the early immigrants' struggle to assert their identity and hold onto their values and practices."
