You might enjoy this book if you're interested in exploring the historical and political roots of nativism in American politics.

This insightful analysis offers a thought-provoking perspective on current affairs and the enduring impact of nationalism in the United States.

All-American Nativism

A major recasting of American history from the vantage of immigration politics.

A searing critique of the big big business nativists dictating our immigration policy - and the moderate Democrats that put them in power.

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.
