Covering the earliest days of the Republic to current events, Schrag sets the modern immigration controversy within the context of three centuries of debate over the same questions about who exactly is fit for citizenship. He finds that nativism has long colored our national history, with the fear - and loathing - of newcomers that provides one of the faultlines of American cultural and political life. Schrag describes the eerie similarities between the race-based arguments for restricting Irish, German, Slav, Italian, Jewish, and Chinese immigrants in the past and the arguments for restricting Latinos and others today. He links the terrible history of eugenic "science" to ideas, individuals, and groups now at the forefront of the fight against rational immigration policies. Not Fit for Our Society makes a powerful case for understanding the complex, often paradoxical history of immigration restriction as we work through the issues that inform, and often distort, the debate over who can become a citizen, who decides, and on what basis."--Publisher's information. 591 Record updated by Marcive processing 21 June 2024 651 0 United States |xEmigration and immigration |xSocial aspects. 651 0 United States |xEmigration and immigration |xPublic opinion. 651 0 United States |xEmigration and immigration |xGovernment policy. 650 0 Nativism. 650 0 Eugenics. 648 4 Geschichte 1783-2010. 650 7 Einwanderungspolitik. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4198721-4 650 7 Fremdenfeindlichkeit. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4244141-9 650 7 Nativismus. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4171235-3 650 7 Eugenik. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4015656-4 651 7 USA. |2gnd |0(DE-588)4078704-7 650 17 Migratiebeleid. |2gtt 650 17 Immigratie. |2gtt 650 17 Beperkingen. |2gtt 651 7 Verenigde Staten. |2gtt 650 7 Immigration |zFèorenta Staterna. |2sao 650 7 Kultutrell assimilation. |2sao 650 7 Segregation. |2sao 650 07 Einwanderung. |2swd 650 07 Eugenik. |2swd 650 07 Nativismus. |2swd 650 07 èOffentliche Meinung. |2swd 651 7 USA. |2swd 648 7 Geschichte 1783-2010. |2swd 856 40 |3Electronic version |zHosted by ProQuest |uhttps://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/ushmm/detail.action?docID=547596 938 Brodart |bBROD |n10887547 |c$50.00 938 Coutts Information Services |bCOUT |n10942282 938 YBP Library Services |bYANK |n3574584 994 C0 |bLHM 852 |bebook 852 0 |bstacks |hJV6121 |i.S35 2010
