The truth is quite the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtrary. In this book, David R. Morse details how racism and nativism have been constants in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerica, from the founding of Jamestown to the administration of Donald Trump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most egregious example of racism has been directed at African Americans, who came to this\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecountry not of their own free will, but as slaves. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Lives Matter, the struggle for equality has been ongoing and so often contested by Whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, as various immigrant groups have come to the U.S., the public and the government\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave responded by vilifying them, often with violence, once they arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes a cogent argument that people who are, or were, different from the country's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhite Anglo founders have always been viewed with suspicion. At the same time, Blacks and immigrant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egroups have contributed to the nation's growth and the development of a national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith individual chapters for specific ethnic groups, this book explores the implications of race and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eethnicity on science and the Census, and how racial classifications and theories have changed over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etime. Morse also looks to the future and examines various evidence that points to the role of race in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe coming decades, as America's White population approaches less than half the U.S. population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 422\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.86 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e September 08, 2020\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42101772648583,"sku":"9781951591410","price":19.42,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/8b7ed98135135566128575e45c560f5c.webp?v=1732397495","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/an-american-legacy-racism-nativism-and-white-supremacy-paperback","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
