MP-KAN Uni Press of Kansas TwentyFive Years among the Indians and Buffalo A
Book SynopsisHanded down through his family over the past century and faithfully transcribed here, William D. Street’s story of frontier life is as rich in history as it is in character, giving us a sense of what it was to be not just a witness to, but a player in, the drama of the plains as it unfolded in the late nineteenth century.Trade Review"An exciting narrative of frontier Kansas."—Kansas History"A very interesting, highly readable memoir. Seasoned American historians would find this piece to be quite valuable, and this is a fantastic and engaging read for the general public as well."—The Chronicles of Oklahoma"Rich in everyday Kansas life on the farm, a covered wagon train experience, the military, and the last Indian raid in Kansas."—Valley Falls Vindicator "William D. Street’s memoir of life on the central and northern Great Plains as a teamster, soldier, homesteader, trapper, buffalo hunter, scout and cowboy is about as exciting as it gets for a vivid, page-turning reminiscence of the Old West. This is an important and highly recommended memoir."—John Monnett, author of Tell Them We Are Going Home: The Odyssey of the Northern Cheyennes"Twenty-Five Years among the Indians and Buffalo offers an interesting, highly readable, and informative personal narrative covering events and experiences of real significance for early, post–Civil War settlement of Kansas and the Great Plains. The narrator, Bill Street, who goes on to become a Kansan of some notoriety in the latter part of the nineteenth century, recounts in great detail his experiences as a teenage muleskinner in the 1860s, a trooper in the Nineteenth Kansas Volunteer Cavalry involved in the famous Winter Campaign of 1868-69, a homesteader and town builder in Jewell and Decatur counties, a High Plains hunter and trapper, a cowboy, and more. This is a significant contribution to the literature in the tradition of many other ‘eyewitness’ accounts from the nineteenth century."—Virgil Dean, editor of John Brown to Bob Dole: Movers and Shakers in Kansas History"Twenty-five Years among the Indians and Buffalo, the memoir of William Street’s exciting decade on the Central Plains during the 1870s, is a treasure house for those interested in the history both of Kansas and of the American West. During this seminal decade of westward expansion, Street was an Indian fighter, a soldier, a buffalo hunter, a trapper, a homesteader, a town founder, and a cowboy. (Like Jack Crabb in Thomas Berger’s great novel, Little Big Man, Street seems to have been an active participant in nearly every occupation of the Old West.) Recorded in the early twentieth century, after Street had become a newspaper editor (which perhaps explains the clarity of his engaging prose), we gain new ground-level insights into activities, since mythologized, that were quotidian events for Street and his contemporaries."—Jim Hoy, author of Flint Hills Cowboys: Tales from the Tallgrass PrairieTable of Contents Introduction, Richard W.

But for three young men, two American and one Iraqi, their minds return again and again to 2006, to the bloodiest stretch of the Iraq War. Members of the same platoon, they were tasked with the often deadly job of repairing potholes in the roads of the Al Anbar Province: potholes that almost always concealed a home-made bomb. They have survived the war but now they must learn to live with themselves. As they struggle to find their place in a world that no longer knows them, they realise that the war has left nothing in their lives untouched and that salvation may come from an unexpected quarter.Trade ReviewAn unblinking, razor-edged portrait of war ...

Highlighted here are figures like Caterina Sforza, who defended her city against an invading army; Veronica Franco, the Venetian courtesan whose erotic verse enthralled Europe; Sofonisba Anguissola, acclaimed for her arresting portraits; Isabella Andreini, the original prima donna of Italian theater; and Margherita Sarrocchi, the epic poet and mathematics prodigy who corresponded with Galileo Galilei.Though many of their names have been neglected by history, the artists, writers, performers, leaders, and feminists of Twenty-Five Women Who Shaped the Italian Renaissance overcame daunting obstacles to find their own voices.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Education Reform and the State Twenty Five Years of Politics Policy and Practice
Book SynopsisThe last quarter of the twentieth century was a very important period in history of education. Beginning with the so-called ''Great Debate'', the period witnessed intense public and political interest in educational issues, culminating in an almost unprecedented amount of education-related legislation, the most symbolic of which was the Education Reform Act of 1988. Some scholars have rightly claimed that the education system was ''transformed'' during this period, pointing to major changes in the ways in which schools, further education colleges and universities were organised, managed and controlled. Others have claimed that these changes altered the power relationships which had underpinned the education system since 1944. Given the sheer scale and pace of the education-policy related reforms of this period, this edited collection brings together some of the leading scholars in education to reflect on the major legislative and structural changes in education over the past few decadTrade ReviewTimes Educational Supplement Book of the Week:'This logical structure covers all the main policy areas and the chapters are well structured and clearly written. Thanks to good editing, there is a consistency of approach and style that is often absent from multi-author works.' - John Dunford' This collection of sixteen essays, grouped in five parts, presents a reasonably comprehensive overview of the politics of education in Britian since 1976 ...

Taylor & Francis The Role of Parties in TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisFor a long time analyses of political parties were framed within the usual context of democracy and of the historical transformation of the forms of democratic government. More recently several authors, among which eminently Peter Mair, progressively began to question the relationship between the normative definition of democratic government and the actual operation of parties. These new concerns are well epitomized by the tension between âresponsivenessâ and âresponsibilityâ that gives the title to this book.While classic democratic theory sees as desirable that parties in government (and in opposition, too) are sympathetically responsive to their supporters first and more generally to public opinion and, at the same time, responsible toward the internal and international systemic constraints and compatibilities, these two roles seem to have become more difficult to reconcile and even increasingly incompatible.The chapters of this book explTable of Contents1.

Cambridge University Press The Transformation of Europe TwentyFive Years On
Book SynopsisJoseph Weiler's The Transformation of Europe is one of the most influential works in the history of European studies. Twenty-five years after its original publication, this new collection of essays pays tribute to Weiler's legacy by discussing some of the most pressing issues in contemporary European Union law, policy and constitutionalism. The book does not intend to be a simple expression of intellectual esteem for Weiler's seminal work; instead, the collection honours it by critically engaging with some of its assumptions and theses. Overall, it shows how a study of 1991 can still be fundamental to the present and future of the EU, including the challenges of Brexit and Eurozone crises.Trade Review'Joseph Weiler's 'The Transformation of Europe' was a seminal article that placed previous developments in sharp perspective, and contained valuable insights on the future challenges facing the EU. The article has stood the test of time. This volume provides a fitting tribute to Weiler's article, with important contributions from prominent scholars in the field that reflect on Weiler's scholarship from a variety of perspectives.' Paul Craig, University of Oxford''The Transformation of Europe' had a decisive impact on the constitution of a smarter knowledge about European integration. It helped a generation of scholars to liberate themselves from the notion of a postwar new European order placed above the fray of inter-state relations and agonistic about political preferences and social conflicts, ideological differences and value choices. It made them aware of the amorphous, conflictive and precarious character of European integration. It reintroduced in the picture the tension inherent in a political project making the existence of states subject to their coexistence and it turned this tension into the normative core of the project. This book is an effort by the same generation of scholars to revisit 'The Transformation of Europe' in view of their own conceptions developed since and thanks to the publication of the piece. A superb exercise of self-reflection and reappropriation of knowledge. A unique way of rethinking Europe in our time.” Loïc Azoulai, Institut d'études politiques de Paris'Amongst the many possible definitions of a 'classic', two features frequently arise. A classic most often connects worlds or ideas that are generally seen as distinct, and it stands the test of time: It may be revisited, amended, possibly improved, but a classic always provides us with a lens through which we understand the world. Weiler's The Transformation of Europe certainly meets these criteria and, as such, deserves the attention it gets here from a group of distinguished scholars.' Renaud Dehousse, President, European University Institute, Florence'This outstanding collection of essays transforms the 'Transformation of Europe'. Marking the 25th anniversary of Joseph Weiler's famous essay by that name, the authors take stock of how the European Union has developed in the quarter century since the essay was published, showing how Weiler's then-revolutionary blending of legal and political analysis remains the most useful way to comprehend the EU. As European crises have proliferated, Weiler's analysis of the structural tensions in the European project has looked more and more prescient. Legitimacy remains in short supply; European values are under stress. But the authors - an all-star cast of EU experts with a new essay by Professor Weiler himself - explore the way forward from the EU's present state of crisis and self-doubt. This collection is a compelling addition to the reading list of everyone concerned with the past, present and future of the European Union.' Kim Lane Scheppele, Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Sociology and International Affairs, Woodrow Wilson School and University Center for Human Values'This inspiring interdisciplinary, international and inter-generational collection of essays reinforces how Joseph Weiler's vivid writing and intriguing arguments energize the minds of scholars from diverse fields even today.' Karen J. Alter, Northwestern University, Illinois'What is the European construct and how to evaluate its current crisis? This book deserves a place of honor in the debate on the Union. … The authors of this book revisit Joseph Weiler's foundational analysis of the European Union and provide a key to the understanding of successes and failures of this experiment … [whilst also] capturing the essence of the European experiment. This work will likely influence public debate on the crisis of the Union. … A critical re-appraisal of an important book and, in the meantime, a diagnosis of the current crisis of the European Union. … A thoughtful and reasoned book about successes and failures of the European Union.'

Oxford University Press BritishIrish Relations in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisThe Brexit referendum and its aftermath placed Northern Ireland and the question of a United Ireland in the public eye. The constitutional question was successfully put on hold when the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement was reached in 1998. British-Irish Relations in the Twenty-First Century examines the impact of the Belfast/Good Friday Agreement and Brexit on Northern Ireland, and British-Irish relations, from 1998 to 2023, highlighting the Agreement''s successes, but also its failures. Tannam explores the challenges posed by a possible referendum on a United Ireland and emphasises the need to implement the Agreement''s three strands. In particular, the book argues that the governments'' weak guardianship of the Agreement contributed to its limitations. Tannam concludes that a joint intergovernmental strategy will be needed to manage identity politics, especially given the possibility of a future referendum on a United Ireland.

Book SynopsisThe issues raised by the Iraq War are symptomatic of larger phenomena that will continue to preoccupy American foreign policy makers well into the twenty-first century. The war on terror, the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, humanitarian intervention, and a litany of other concerns on the foreign policy agenda pose complex dilemmas for which there are no simple answers. Through lucid, lively analysis, as well as multiple illustrations and case studies, US Foreign Policy in the Twenty-First Century explores the difficult choices that confront the United States today in a complicated and often dangerous post-Cold War environment.

Cambridge University Press Americanism in the TwentyFirst Century Public Opinion in the Age of Immigration
Book SynopsisThis book explores public opinion about being and becoming American, and its implications for contemporary immigration debates. It focuses on the causes and consequences of two aspects of American identity: how people define being American and whether people think of themselves primarily as American rather than as members of a panethnic or national origin group. Importantly, the book evaluates the claim â made by scholars and pundits alike â that all Americans should prioritize their American identity instead of an ethnic or national origin identity. It finds that national identity within American democracy can be a blessing or a curse. It can enhance participation, trust, and obligation. But it can be a curse when perceptions of deviation lead to threat and resentment. It can also be a curse for minorities who are attached to their American identity but also perceive discrimination.Trade Review“Ever since the country’s founding, Americans have faced the challenge of juggling their American identities with their own distinctive national or ethnic identities. Demographic shifts over the last quarter century have made this much more complex – citizens find themselves in more heterogeneous settings that sometimes accentuate a common American identity but other times stir up resentment and discrimination against specific groups. Schildkraut’s book masterfully explores how Americans contend with these competing forces; it is a seminal contribution to our basic understanding of identity and what it means to be an American in the 21st century.” —James N. Druckman, Northwestern University“This pioneering work in political psychology addresses the challenges to American unity posed by rapidly increasing immigration and cultural diversity. Based on an extensive national survey, with over-samples of ethnic minorities, it offers many stereotype-breaking findings about Americans of all backgrounds, focusing particularly on social identities. It should disabuse us of the popular notion that immigrants, particularly from Latin America, are bound to remain an unacculturated enclave only partially loyal to America, as charged by those on the political right. Nor do later generations of immigrant families increasingly experience discrimination and victimization, as charged by those on the political left. The majority white population’s attitudes toward immigrants do show some similarities to contemporary anti-black prejudice, but with a distinctively new flavor. The volume should become a reference point for all future studies of a phenomenon so vital to the nation’s future.” — David O. Sears, University of California, Los Angeles“In the current heated environment that surrounds immigration, Americanism in the Twenty-first Century offers a refreshingly thorough and sophisticated analysis of the issue from the perspective of what it means to be an American. Schildkraut uses original survey data that allow her to look not only at what whites think of immigration or at what minority groups think about being American, but also at what a variety of racial and ethnic groups think of the two together. What she finds is incredibly important to anyone interested in American identity, immigration, and the heated politics of our time. In many ways, anti-immigration alarmists have much less to fear than they think. Immigrant and native-born minorities do not differ from native-born whites in their beliefs about Americanism or the norms it entails (such as obligations to fellow Americans, trust in government, and patriotism). Yet Schildkraut convincingly shows experiencing discrimination leads immigrant and native-born minorities to feel marginalized and to be less willing to express the norms and beliefs surrounding Americanism. Her findings suggest that the popular anti-immigration policies of the early 21st century will likely contribute to precisely the sentiments alarmists fear.” —Elizabeth Theiss-Morse, University of Nebraska, LincolnTable of Contents1.

The origin, aims and growth of the journal Social Epistemology, founded in 1987, serves to anchor each of the bookâs contributions. Each contribution offers a unique, but related, insight on current issues affecting the organization and production of knowledge. In addition, each contribution proposes necessary questions, practices and frameworks relevant to the rapidly changing landscape of our conceptions of knowledge. The book examines the commercialization of science, the neoliberal university, the status and conduct of philosophy, the cultures of computer software and social networking, the practical, political and anthropological applications of social epistemology, and how we come to define what human beings are and what activities human beings can, and should, sustain.

Cambridge University Press The Price of Peace Just War in the Twentyfirst Century
Book SynopsisLively political and public debates on war and morality have been a feature of the post-Cold War world. The Price of Peace argues that a re-examination of the just war tradition is therefore required. The authors suggest that despite fluctuations and transformations in international politics, the just war tradition continues to be relevant. However they argue that it needs to be reworked to respond to the new challenges to international security represented by the end of the Cold War and the impact of terrorism. With an interdisciplinary and transatlantic approach, this volume provides a dialogue between theological, political, military and public actors. By articulating what a reconstituted just war tradition might mean in practice, it also aims to assist policy-makers and citizens in dealing with the ethical dilemmas of war.Trade Review'In sum, this is a landmark book on the just war tradition in the new century. … an excellent restatement of the just war tradition and attempt to move it forward, with all the problems and issues that this involves.' International Affairs'Between moral certainty and ruthless cynicism lies the practical wisdom of the just war tradition. In the hands of its wise editors and expert contributors, this volume gives access to the full range of the tradition's discipline. It is essential reading for anyone who seeks to understand the duties and restraints that separate the humane from the barbarous - particularly in the extreme aspect of the human condition we are now experiencing as war in the 21st century.' Joel H. Rosenthal, President, Carnegie Council for Ethics in International Affairs'This excellent book should be read by the many who comment on the rights and wrongs of today's numerous conflicts. In particular it should be read by all involved with initiating or directing military operations and by those commanding forces engaged on operations. Drawing on the thoughts of theologians, academics and practitioners, its chapters clearly and logically provide the background of reason and morality necessary to guide decision within a sound ethical compass. With the change in the nature of conflict the need for this understanding is most important, since with change comes the need to apply the enduring principles in new circumstances - principles that if applied serve to restrain the tendency for the awfulness of war to expose the beast in man.' General Sir Rupert Smith KCB DSO OBE QGM, Former Deputy Supreme Commander, Allied Powers Europe'In this collection of rigorously argued essays … 18 scholars and analysts from both sides of the Atlantic examine … the just war tradition … essential reading for anyone anxious to understand the agonising choices facing governments in discharging their responsibility for maintaining or establishing tranquilitas ordinis, a world order comprising peace, justice, security and freedom … This book is an intellectual pleasure to read and a short review cannot begin to do justice to the range of issues covered or the variety of views expressed.' The Tablet'It is difficult to imagine a more impressive analysis of the just-war tradition today than this brilliantly edited and introduced collection of essays under a joint Anglican-Roman Catholic aegis.'

Taylor & Francis Starting the Twentyfirst Century
Book SynopsisJrgen Habermas, speaking of postmodern society, remarked that extension of the means of communication not only allows a wide range of information, but it also encourages permanent connections between different peoples, cultures, and social discourses. It thus facilitates better general understanding, a clarifying of real or apparent contradictions. But this process becomes truly positive only when it is performed between equal members. Globalization of information does not minimize the possibility of conflict or terrorism, if fundamental social problems are not resolved or at least approached in an active way.This volume examines the major upheavals of the twentieth century and views within the framework of these events and challenges implications for the future.

Taylor & Francis Isaiah Berlin in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisIsaiah Berlin is well known as a defender of liberal democracy in the Cold War. In this path-breaking study, George Crowder argues that Berlinâs ideas have application beyond their original context to the problems of our own time.Focusing on three central themes â liberty, identity, and value pluralism â Crowder presents a fresh interpretation of Berlin, exposing the misunderstandings of critics, especially those who ignore Berlinâs pluralist foundation. Although genuine problems remain, these can be alleviated by revising and extending Berlinâs view to construct an updated liberal pluralism. Together with Berlinâs own arguments, liberal pluralism is then brought to bear on a range of current concerns, including neoliberalism, identity politics, populism, international relations, religion, feminism, climate change, and global pandemics. The resulting outlook is complex, realistic, humane, and positive.Isaiah Berlin in the Twenty-First Century represents a new departure in the study of Berlin, value pluralism, and liberal thought more generally. It is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in these fields, but its wide range will appeal to anyone interested in the values and politics of our troubled times.

Boydell & Brewer Ltd Loyalism and the Formation of the British World,
Book SynopsisExplores loyalism as a social and political force in eighteenth and nineteenth century British colonies and former colonies. Loyalism in Britain and Ireland, which was once seen as a crude reaction against radicalism or nationalism, stimulated by the elite and blindly followed by plebeians, has recently been shown by historians to have been, on the contrary, a politically multi-faceted, socially enabling phenomenon which did much to shape identity in the British Isles. This book takes further this revised picture by considering loyalism in the wider British World. It considersthe overall nature of loyalism, exploring its development in England, Ireland and Scotland, and goes on to examine its manifestation in a range of British colonies and former colonies, including the United States, Canada, India, Australia and New Zealand. It shows that whilst eighteenth-century Anglo-centric loyalism had a core of common ideological assumptions, associational structures and ritual behaviour, loyalism manifested itself differently in different territories. This divergence is explored through a discussion of the role of loyal associations and military institutions, loyalism's cultural and ritual dimensions and its key role in the formation of political identities. Chronologically, the book covers a pivotal period, comprehending the American and French Revolutions, the 1798 Irish rebellion and Irish Union, the Canadian rebellions of 1837, and Fenianism and Home Rule campaigns throughout the British World. Allan Blackstock is Reader in History at the University of Ulster and author of Loyalism in Ireland, 1789-1829 (Boydell, 2007). Frank O'Gorman was Professor of History at the Universityof Manchester.

Taylor & Francis Propaganda and Information Warfare in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisThis is the first book to analyze how the technology to alter images and rapidly distribute them can be used for propaganda and to support deception operations.In the past, propagandists and those seeking to conduct deception operations used crude methods to alter images of real people, events and objects, which could usually be detected relatively easily. Today, however, computers allow propagandists to create any imaginable image, still or moving, with appropriate accompanying audio. Furthermore, it is becoming extremely difficult to detect that an image has been manipulated, and the Internet, television and global media make it possible to disseminate altered images around the world almost instantaneously. Given that the United States is the sole superpower, few, if any, adversaries will attempt to fight the US military conventionally on the battlefield. Therefore, adversaries will use propaganda and deception, especially altered images, in an attempt to level the battlefiTable of Contents1. The Lying Eye: Photography, Propaganda and Deception 2.

Taylor & Francis TwentyFive Women Who Shaped the Early Modern Holy
Book SynopsisChallenging the conception that only men shaped the Holy Roman Empire, this book provides students and general readers with biographies of preachers, nuns, princesses, businesswomen, artists, scientists, writers, and social movers who exercised agency in the Holy Roman Empire.Who was Maria Theresia Paradis, and have you ever heard of Empress Eleonora Magdalena? Numerous women achieved prominence or made important contributions to the life of the early modern Holy Roman Empire, but they are only gradually being rediscovered. Generations of historians had assumed that princely women were essentially limited to childbearing, or townswomen to running the household. And although it took a long time for higher education to become attainable to women, they also made their voices heard in the sciences, arts, and religion. Indeed, a closer look reveals that the history of the empire was also a history of the interaction of men and women and a history of women''s self-empowerment. This

Taylor & Francis Isaiah Berlin in the TwentyFirst Century
Book SynopsisIsaiah Berlin is well known as a defender of liberal democracy in the Cold War. In this path-breaking study, George Crowder argues that Berlinâs ideas have application beyond their original context to the problems of our own time.Focusing on three central themes â liberty, identity, and value pluralism â Crowder presents a fresh interpretation of Berlin, exposing the misunderstandings of critics, especially those who ignore Berlinâs pluralist foundation. Although genuine problems remain, these can be alleviated by revising and extending Berlinâs view to construct an updated liberal pluralism. Together with Berlinâs own arguments, liberal pluralism is then brought to bear on a range of current concerns, including neoliberalism, identity politics, populism, international relations, religion, feminism, climate change, and global pandemics. The resulting outlook is complex, realistic, humane, and positive.Isaiah Berlin in the Twenty-First Century represents a new departure in the study of Berlin, value pluralism, and liberal thought more generally. It is essential reading for researchers and advanced students in these fields, but its wide range will appeal to anyone interested in the values and politics of our troubled times.

When Smiley finds Circus head Maston is trying to blame him for the man's death, he begins his own investigation, meeting with Fennan's widow to find out what could have led him to such desperation. But on the very day that Smiley is ordered off the enquiry he receives an urgent letter from the dead man. Do the East Germans - and their agents - know more about this man's death than the Circus previously imagined? Le Carré's debut novel, Call for the Dead, introduced the tenacious and retiring George Smiley in a gripping tale of espionage and deceit.

The first volume aims to publicise the foundations of group analysis (with the earliest papers of Foulkes) as well as the most influential theoretical contributions by pillars of modern group analysis, such as Pines, Brown, and Hopper. The reader will be able to see the development of Group Analysis, form an opinion about the trajectory that it follows, and judge which way the tradition of openness and creative integration of diverse theoretical contributions will lead in the twenty-first century. The second volume focuses on the numerous fields of work that use group analytic principles.

Cambridge University Press Americanism in the TwentyFirst Century Public Opinion in the Age of Immigration
Book SynopsisThis book explores public opinion about being and becoming American, and its implications for contemporary immigration debates. It uses a new national public opinion survey that examines attitudes among the white majority, as well as among immigrants, about American identity and citizenship.Trade Review“Ever since the country’s founding, Americans have faced the challenge of juggling their American identities with their own distinctive national or ethnic identities. Demographic shifts over the last quarter century have made this much more complex – citizens find themselves in more heterogeneous settings that sometimes accentuate a common American identity but other times stir up resentment and discrimination against specific groups. Schildkraut’s book masterfully explores how Americans contend with these competing forces; it is a seminal contribution to our basic understanding of identity and what it means to be an American in the 21st century.” —James N. Druckman, Northwestern University“This pioneering work in political psychology addresses the challenges to American unity posed by rapidly increasing immigration and cultural diversity. Based on an extensive national survey, with over-samples of ethnic minorities, it offers many stereotype-breaking findings about Americans of all backgrounds, focusing particularly on social identities. It should disabuse us of the popular notion that immigrants, particularly from Latin America, are bound to remain an unacculturated enclave only partially loyal to America, as charged by those on the political right. Nor do later generations of immigrant families increasingly experience discrimination and victimization, as charged by those on the political left. The majority white population’s attitudes toward immigrants do show some similarities to contemporary anti-black prejudice, but with a distinctively new flavor. The volume should become a reference point for all future studies of a phenomenon so vital to the nation’s future.” — David O. Sears, University of California, Los Angeles“In the current heated environment that surrounds immigration, Americanism in the Twenty-first Century offers a refreshingly thorough and sophisticated analysis of the issue from the perspective of what it means to be an American. Schildkraut uses original survey data that allow her to look not only at what whites think of immigration or at what minority groups think about being American, but also at what a variety of racial and ethnic groups think of the two together. What she finds is incredibly important to anyone interested in American identity, immigration, and the heated politics of our time. In many ways, anti-immigration alarmists have much less to fear than they think. Immigrant and native-born minorities do not differ from native-born whites in their beliefs about Americanism or the norms it entails (such as obligations to fellow Americans, trust in government, and patriotism). Yet Schildkraut convincingly shows experiencing discrimination leads immigrant and native-born minorities to feel marginalized and to be less willing to express the norms and beliefs surrounding Americanism. Her findings suggest that the popular anti-immigration policies of the early 21st century will likely contribute to precisely the sentiments alarmists fear.” —Elizabeth Theiss-Morse, University of Nebraska, LincolnTable of Contents1.
