American While Black

African Americans, Immigration, and the Limits of Citizenship

Produktbeschreibung

What has an expanded immigration regime meant for how blacks express national attachment? In this book, Niambi Michele Carter argues that immigration, both historically and in the contemporary moment, has served as a reminder of the limited inclusion of African Americans in the body politic. Blacks use immigration as a way to express their concerns about how race operates to structure and constrain their place in the American political landscape. Carter draws onoriginal interview material and empirical data on African American political opinion to offer the first theory of black public opinion toward immigration.
