Andrew Urban, Ph.D.

September 15, 2017

Andrew Urban is an Associate Professor of American Studies and History at Rutgers University, New Brunswick. In his book Brokering Servitude (NYU Press, 2017), he examines how immigration policies shaped labor markets for domestic service. His current project explores the history of Seabrook Farms, a frozen foods agribusiness in southern New Jersey that recruited interned Japanese Americans, guestworkers from the British West Indies, and European refugees during the 1940s.
