What drives anti-immigrant bias-and how it can be mitigated In the
aftermath of the refugee crisis caused by conflicts in the Middle
East and an increase in migration to Europe, European nations have
witnessed a surge in discrimination targeted at immigrant
minorities. To quell these conflicts, some governments have
resorted to the adoption of coercive assimilation policies aimed at
erasing differences between natives and immigrants. Are these
policies the best method for reducing hostilities? Native Bias
challenges the premise of such regulations by making the case for a
civic integration model, based on shared social ideas defining the
concept and practice of citizenship. Drawing from original surveys,
survey experiments, and novel field experiments, Donghyun Danny
Choi, Mathias Poertner, and Nicholas Sambanis show that although
prejudice against immigrants is often driven by differences in
traits such as appearance and religious practice, the suppression
of such differences does not constitute the only path to
integration. Instead, the authors demonstrate that similarities in
ideas and value systems can serve as the foundation for a common
identity, based on a shared concept of citizenship, overcoming the
perceived social distance between natives and immigrants.
Addressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time, Native
Bias offers an original framework for understanding anti-immigrant
discrimination and the processes through which it can be overcome.
