Description
For three decades, establishment Democrats and Republicans have led a bipartisan assault on immigrants. Pulled further and further right by a vocal and organised group of nativists, they have turned the southern border region into a conflict zone, breaking up millions of families in the process.
In All-American Nativism, Daniel Denvir delivers a caustic takedown of liberal triangulation on the border, showing how concessions to “enforcement first” law and order immigration politics haven’t placated the nativists—it has only inflamed them. Establishment officials from both parties have allowed the right-wing to dictate policy on migration, even as popular opinion clamours for a more humane and just approach. With the centre collapsed, the left can either demand full amnesty now or cede the ground of national belonging to nativists and white supremacists.

The South
The last generation of Americans with a living memory of Jim Crow will soon disappear. They leave behind a collective memory of segregation shaped increasingly by its horrors and heroic defeat but not a nuanced understanding of everyday life in Jim Crow America. In The South, Adolph L.

Yesterday's Man
Yesterday’s Man exposes the forgotten history of Joe Biden, one of the United States’ longest-serving politicians, and one of its least scrutinised.

Quick Fixes
Americans are in the midst of a world-historic drug binge. Opiates, amphetamines, benzodiazepines, marijuana, antidepressants, antipsychotics—across the board, consumption has shot up in the 21st century. At the same time, the United States is home to the largest prison system in the world, justified in part by a now zombified "war" on drugs. How did we get here?

The Panthers Can't Save Us Now
In the wake of the mass protests over the police murder of George Floyd, nearly every major consumer brand proclaimed their commitments to antiracism, often with new ad campaigns to match their Tweets.

Building the Commune
Since 2011, a wave of popular mobilisations has swept the globe, from Occupy to the Arab Spring, 15M in Spain and the uprisings in Greece.

After thirty years of retreat, the last decade has witnessed a resurgent left in the United States and Western Europe.

Toward Freedom
For many progressives, racial identities are the engine of American history, and by extension, contemporary politics. They, in short, want to separate race from class. While policymakers and pundits find an almost metaphysical racism, or the survival of an ancient and primordial tribalism at the heart of American life, these inequities are better understood when traced to more comprehensible forces:...Paperback$2699Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
The People's Republic of Walmart
For the left and the right, major multinational companies are held up as the ultimate expressions of free market competition. Their remarkable success vindicates the old idea that our modern societies are too large, too complex and difficult, to be subjected to a plan.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
All-American Nativism by Daniel Denvir offers a comprehensive analysis of the historical roots and contemporary manifestations of nativism in American politics. The book argues that Donald Trump’s policies are not anomalies but rather the culmination of longstanding bipartisan approaches to immigration. Through its insights and critiques, the work provides a roadmap for understanding current political climates and envisages a path towards solidarity and change.
