The article presents information on various papers related to migration in North America, published in different journals. One of the papers titled "Ethnic Pluralism in the Connecticut Central City," aims to provide some hard facts on the ethnic groups who reside in three of Connecticut's largest cities--Hartford, Bridgeport, and New Haven. In another paper "Blood Pressure Changes Among Male Navaho Migrants to an Urban Environment," comparative data on systolic and diastolic blood pressures were obtained on male Navahos before and after migration from a rural to an urban environment. Both measures were significantly higher after migration. Various possible causes such as, change in altitude, saturated fat intake and age, are eliminated. The paper titled "Immigrant Ethnicity in a Changing Politics: Chicago From Progressivism to FDR," describes immigrant political behavior, especially voting and points out some causes of this behavior, specifically, those forces which resulted in strong ethnic Democratic voting by the end of the 1920's.
