American Fear: The Causes and Consequences of High Anxiety
Peter Schrag masterfully presents the issues of nativism and immigration in the United States. He thoroughly researches the subject matter and presents it in a provocative and entertaining way. The author is not afraid to criticize both sides of the aisle. Anyone with questions on the immigration debate should read this book.
"The arguments of the past decade against immigration, legal, and illegal, virtually replay what was heard for more than a century; they're the same arguments that each generation used agains the next-some of them blatantly racist, some defensibly economic, some true in their time, many, judging by subsequent history, dreadfully false. But all are mostly irrelevant to the emerging world." -Peter Schrag, Not Fit for Our Society, p.221
The same rhetoric that has been used for the last two centuries continues to be used today.
