A Forgetful Nation: On Immigration and Cultural Identity in the United States
Ali Behdad
Takes on an idea central to American national mythology that the US is 'a nation of immigrants', open-armed and welcoming to foreigners. This work argues that Americans' treatment of immigrants and foreigners has long fluctuated between hospitality and hostility and that this ambivalence is fundamental to the construction of US national identity.
