520    "In 1990, the United States Diversity Visa Lottery became 
       part of U.S. immigration policy. As with many U.S. 
       immigration policies over the years, the actual lived 
       experience of the lottery generated unintended and 
       unexpected consequences, becoming more powerful and 
       important than its creators could envision. Dreamland 
       tells the story of the lottery, correcting the sometimes 
       willful misconceptions of how it works, explaining its 
       importance, and revealing what it has to teach us. Because
       the program was open to all countries that sent fewer than
       50,000 immigrants in the previous five years, nearly all 
       that had previously been shut out of the immigration 
       system were suddenly eligible for consideration, including
       a vast swath of African nations. The lottery became an 
       economic boon, as Africans provided visa-related services 
       for fees, and used the annual event to bring in needed 
       revenues to their photo shops, print stores, and cyber 
       cafes. The policy fueled a rapid increase in African 
       immigration to the United States, enriching U.S. life in 
       the process"--|cProvided by publisher.
