If anything, this quantity of titles calls for an encyclopedic treatment like Tom Zaniellos Working Stiffs, Union Maids, Reds, and Riffraff: An Expanded Guide to Films About Labor (Cornell: URL Press, 2003). Clearly this brief filmography cannot do justice to the complex issues at stake, including some basic questions about what constitutes immigration as a subject matter: Are we talking here about immigration or migration* Do exile and refugee status count as kinds of immigra tion? And what about collective expulsions (ethnic cleansings and mass transfers of population) born of violent conflict?are they modes of immigration, or is immi gration a personal choice quite apart from collective coercion?
