Recent accounts of immigration policy routinely cast Americans as divided into two warring camps – one fueled by threat to livelihoods and way of life, the other by a fervent cosmopolitanism that sees the nation-state as passé.   This counter-intuitive book shows that these accounts miss the mark. First, almost all Americans hold a mix of \"\"pro-\"\" and \"\"anti-immigrant\"\" opinions. Their views are pragmatic and flexible rather than dead-set. Second, opinions about immigration are more powerfully influenced by liberal values and concerns about the well-being of American society as a whole than by identity politics. Third, the assimilation Americans demand from immigrants matches patterns of integration that Hispanic and Asian immigrants overwhelmingly follow. Finally, American attitudes toward immigrants are \"\"exceptional\"\" for their openness and respect for cultural pluralism.   In Citrin, Levy, and Wright's view, long-elusive comprehensive immigration reform can win in the court of public opinion – but only if leaders heed their constituents rather than the polarized activists who claim to speak on their behalf. This expert analysis rethinks the role of public opinion in immigration matters: its insights will be welcomed by all interested in immigration debates and public policy.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49741290373393,"sku":"NGR9781509550692","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1509550690.jpg?v=1750717405"},{"product_id":"american-identity-and-the-politics-of-multiculturalism-book-jack-citrin-9780521828833","title":"American Identity and the Politics of Multiculturalism","description":"The civil rights movement and immigration reform transformed American politics in the mid-1960s. Demographic diversity and identity politics raised the challenge of e pluribus unum anew, and multiculturalism emerged as a new ideological response to this dilemma. This book uses national public opinion data and public opinion data from Los Angeles to compare ethnic differences in patriotism and ethnic identity and ethnic differences in support for multicultural norms and group-conscious policies. The authors find evidence of strong patriotism among all groups and the classic pattern of assimilation among the new wave of immigrants. They argue that there is a consensus in rejecting harder forms of multiculturalism that insist on group rights but also a widespread acceptance of softer forms that are tolerant of cultural differences and do not challenge norms, such as by insisting on the primacy of English.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"- \/ - \/ -","offer_id":51003251392785,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51003255161105,"sku":"NIN9780521828833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52123753644305,"sku":"NLS9780521828833","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/052182883X.jpg?v=1751040330"},{"product_id":"american-identity-and-the-politics-of-multiculturalism-book-jack-citrin-9780521535786","title":"American Identity and the Politics of Multiculturalism","description":"The civil rights movement and immigration reform transformed American politics in the mid-1960s.

Marking another step in the democratization of the selection process and a surprising loss of control by party elites, the contests in both parties were unusually competitive and the outcomes belied the predictions of experts. This book offers a fresh look at the role of parties, the constraints of campaign finance, the status of front-runners, and the significance of rules, race, and gender in the post-reform era. In this volume, leading scholars assess the state of the process with original research about money, scheduling, superdelegates, and the role of race and gender in voting.   Original analyses show how changes in campaign finance and the scheduling of primaries and caucuses helped determined the outcomes in both parties. Race, once thought of as a handicap, proved an asset for the Obama campaign. 2008 marked another milestone in the democratization of the nominations process with expanded participation by rank and file voters in donating money, voting, and using the Internet. This timely book provides a glimpse into the future of party nominations and elections.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52149234794769,"sku":"NLS9780742566378","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780742566378.jpg?v=1757606167"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-jack-citrin.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
