Making Americans: Immigration, Race, and the Origins of the Diverse Democracy

Making Americans: Immigration, Race, and the Origins of the Diverse Democracy

by Desmond King (Author)

Synopsis

In the 19th century, virtually anyone could get into the US. But by the 1920s, US immigration policy had become a finely filtered regime of selection. This volume looks at this shift, and the debates behind it, for what they reveal about the construction of an "American" identity.
