| Summary/Abstract |
This article focuses on settlement trends of immigrants during the periods that bookend the twentieth century, both eras of mass migration. It compares settlement patterns in both periods, describing old and new gateways, the growth of the immigrant population, and geographic concentration and dispersion. Historically, immigrants have been highly concentrated in a few places. Between 1930 and 1990, more than half of all immigrants lived in just five metropolitan areas. Since then, the share of these few destinations has declined, as immigrants have made their way to new metro areas, particularly in the South and West. During the same period, immigrants began to choose the suburbs over cities, following the decentralization of jobs and the movement of opportunities to suburban areas. There are now more immigrants in U.S. suburban areas than cities.

| Summary/Abstract |
This study analyses the press reporting in India and Pakistan of Partition-related violence in 1947 and the unsuccessful attempts by the colonial authorities to censor provocative accounts in a context of administrative collapse. Assessing the extent of bias exhibited by the coverage, the study highlights the respective roles of the press and of rumours in spreading 'news' of the violence and so contributing to its cycle. The focus is on the tactics of all the sides involved which were designed to attribute responsibility to a hostile 'other', while playing down each community's involvement in violence as merely defensive. The study presents a modest contribution to the wider notion of the role of 'blame displacement' in reporting violence and the inability of what might be termed the transitional colonial state to control the press amid a general decline in governance.
