Making Americans: Immigration, Race, and the Origins of the Diverse Democracy
ISBN: 9780674008120 / Angielski / Miękka / 2002 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In the nineteenth century, virtually anyone could get into the United States. But by the 1920s, U.S. immigration policy had become a finely filtered regime of selection. Desmond King looks at this dramatic shift, and the debates behind it, for what they reveal about the construction of an "American" identity. Specifically, the debates in the three decades leading up to 1929 were conceived in terms of desirable versus undesirable immigrants. This not only cemented judgments about specific European groups but reinforced prevailing biases against groups already present in the United...

Separate and Unequal: African Americans and the US Federal Government
ISBN: 9780195336221 / Angielski / Miękka / 2007 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "In this landmark book, Desmond King reveals and corrects a glaring gap at the epicenter of studies of racial inequality and political development in the United States: their blindness to the pivotal role of the state in making race. With historical precision and analytic rigor, he demonstrates how, for seven decades following the legal affirmation of the doctrine 'separate and equal' in 1896, the federal government both bolstered and expanded racial separation, in effect nationalizing the pattern of black subordination elaborated by Southern segregationists in the aftermath of abolition. The...

Desmond King contends that the answer lies in the liberal political origins of these programs.
