This collection explores, from a variety of angles, the beliefs of
citizens and noncitizens about the impact that contemporary
migration to the USA is having on American culture and on national
solidarity. As in other liberal democracies that have experienced
mass migration during the past several decades, there is
considerable fear and anxiety in the USA about what newcomers are
doing to the nation-economically, politically, and (especially)
culturally. At the symbolic level, Americans largely embrace the
idea that theirs is a nation composed of people from many different
origins, but recent arrivals put to the test the extent to which
the nation is actually prepared to embrace diversity. The six
empirical studies in this volume are divided between those
examining how citizens respond to immigrants-including right-wing
populists, pragmatic multiculturalists, and immigrant advocates-and
how immigrants in turn attempt to integrate into the receiving
society. This book was originally published as a special issue of
the Journal of Intercultural Studies.
