Immigrants and Children of Immigrants in the U.S. Military
Co-funded with the Carnegie Corporation of New York
Immigrants and children of immigrants comprise 13-percent of veterans. Yet very little has been written on their experiences in the military. Sociologist Amy Lutz will explore the experiences of immigrants and children of immigrants in the military and their motivations for joining the military. She will analyze in-depth interviews with immigrants and U.S.-born children of immigration who have served or are currently serving in the military.
