Strangers in the Land: Patterns of American Nativism, 1860-1925

Sprednja platnica
Rutgers University Press, 1988 - 447 strani
With both broad strokes and yet close attention to detail, Professor Higham skillfully interweaves the three main themes of American nativism -- anti-Catholicism, anti-Semitism, and Anglo-Saxon racism. Appropriately he ends his story with the passage of the patently racially-inspired Johnson-Reed Act of 1924 which is curtailing immigration brought to an end 'one of the most fundamental social forces in American history.' Periods of stability were periods of low nativist activity, while periods of dislocation and disruption gave rise to nativist abuses.
