Beskrivning

Public Attitudes toward Immigration in the United States, France, and Germany explores the causes of public opposition to immigration and support for anti-immigrant political movements in the three industrialized Western countries. Combining sophisticated modeling of recent public-opinion data with analysis of the last 110 years of these nations' immigration history, the book evaluates the effects of cultural marginality, economic self-interest, and contact with immigrants. Though analysis partly confirms each of these three explanations, the author concludes that being a cultural outsider usually drives immigration-related attitudes more than economics or contact do.

Recensioner i media

"Immigration serves as a lightning rod for populist politics in many liberal democracies and nativism has been rising in Europe and the United States. Yet there is a vast gap in our knowledge of public attitudes toward immigration. By carefully weighing economic and cultural explanations for anti-immigrant attitudes and behavior, Joel Fetzer's book goes a long way towards filling this gap. Anyone who wants to understand the politics of immigration should read this book." Professor James F. Hollifield, Southern Methodist University
