In a review for the American Journal of Sociology, John D. Skrentny praises Brokered Boundaries: Creating Immigrant Identity in Anti-Immigrant Times (Massey/Sánchez R.) for its "rich and illuminating detail [on] the Latino immigrant experience in the United States":

The book provides an impressively rigorous and data-rich analysis of the process of immigrant assimilation in the United States. This book will invigorate an already lively area of scholarship and spur new research questions and comparative analysis—as well as much critical reflection on who we are and how we treat the strangers among us. [...]

his book will likely provoke a whole line of new research. For example, sociologists of race, ethnicity, and immigration may consider how these arguments might be generalized to other populations. How does boundary brokering work in “new gateways” of immigration? How does it work with other immigrant groups who may face different contexts of reception, such as Asians, Eastern Europeans, Middle Easterners, or skilled immigrants? Massey and Sánchez R. have provided a valuable model that will change debates on immigrant assimilation.
