This work takes you through controversies over citizenship for blacks and the rights of aliens at the nation's founding, and also examines the interplay of ideas and institutions in the Americanization movement in the 1910s and 1920s.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Pickus should be applauded for his centrist appeal to build bridges between natives and immigrants through English instruction and civics classes. Pickus' interpretation of recent developments in American immigration politics is also impeccable and a useful update to the current literature. It will strengthen the hand of those who dissent from the prevailing multicultural ethos of the universities, but will also challenge some of the more popular quick fixes of Congressional policy-makers. Put simply, this well-written book is a must-read for scholars of American national identity and immigration.\"--Eric Kaufman, Nations and Nationalism \"Noah Pickus rightly declares that it is time to get serious about assimilation in his insightful new book.\"--John Fonte, New York Post \"By carefully exploring the nuances of competing views of naturalization, Noah Pickus can help us all think more effectively about one of the pressing concerns of our time.\"--Andrew L. Aoki, Political Science Quarterly \"[This book] succeeds in provoking us to think harder about the appropriate role of government in the process of making Americans out of immigrants. And for that, scholars and citizens are in Pickus's debt.\"--Richard J. Ellis, American Historical Review \"In True Faith and Allegiance: Immigration and American Civic Nationalism, Noah Pickus presents a learned and balanced historical review of American political debates about immigration and citizenship from the 1780s to present.\"--Camille Pecastaing, The American Interest\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePreface ix  Introduction 1  Naturalization and Nationhood in Three Eras 6  Citizenship in Theory and Practice 11      Chapter One: Immigration, Citizenship, and the Nation's Founding 15  Diversity and Nationhood 16  Immigration and Citizenship 22  \"Men Who Can Shake Off Their Attachments to Their Own Country\" 25  America's Civic Character 29      Chapter Two: Alienage and Nationalism in the Early Republic 34  Partisan and Ideological Divisions 35  \"The Constitution Was Made for Citizens, Not Aliens\" 37  The Rights of Aliens, Citizens, and States 42  Marshall, Madison, and Moderate Civic Nationalism 47      Chapter Three: The Free White Clause of 1790 52  Why White? 53  \"We Have the Wolf by the Ears\": Obstacles to Integration 56  Emancipation without Citizenship 58  Civic Nationalism and the Claims of History 61      Chapter Four: Americanization and Pluralism in the Progressive Era 64  Citizenship and Nativism, 1830-1911 65  Americanization, Progressivism, and John Dewey's International Nationalism 71  Randolph Bourne, Jane Addams, and the Practice of Pluralism 76      Chapter Five: Nationalism in the Progressive Era 85  Roosevelt's New Nationalism 86  Naturalization and Constitutional Attachment 90  Education for Citizenship 96  \"We Mutually Pledge to Each Our Lives, Our Fortunes, and Our Sacred Honor\": Frances Kellor and the National Americanization Committee 100      Chapter Six: World War I and the Turn to Coercion 107  Tightening the Boundaries of Citizenship 108  Postwar Americanization and the Specter of Separatism 112  The Peril and the Promise of Civic Nationalism 118      Chapter Seven: Immigration and Citizenship at Century's End 124  From New Deal Nationalism to Nationality as a Human Right 125  \"Name One Benefit of Being a Citizen of the United States\": Amnesty and the New Naturalization Process 131  Alien Rights and Minority Representation 136  The Return of the Nation 140      Chapter Eight: A New Civic Nationalism 147  Bourneian and Rooseveltian Civic Nationalism 148  Alternatives to Civic Nationalism 153  The Evasion of Politics and the Madisonian Moment 160  Tolerance, Neglect, and Governance by Proposition 164      Epilogue 171  Immigration and Immigrant Policy 173  What Naturalization Can Do 175  Beyond Naturalization 178  Dual Citizenship and Global Linkages 181      Notes 185  Index 241","brand":"Princeton University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49403753562455,"sku":"9780691133966","price":31.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/true-faith-and-allegiance-immigration-and-american-civic-nationalism-9780691133966","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
