In the rise of a polarized and acrimonious immigration debate, leading accounts see racial anxieties and disputes over the meaning of American nationhood coming to a head. The apparent resurgence of parochial identities has breathed new life into old worries about the vulnerability of the American Creed to "tribalism." This book tells a different story, one in which creedal values remain hard at work in shaping ordinary Americans' judgments about immigration. It shows that the values of individualism, egalitarianism, humanitarianism, and the rule of law are central to Americans' beliefs about what the political community owes to its aspiring members and what they owe in return. These perceptions of "civic fairness" are the dominant guideposts by which most Americans navigate immigration controversies most of the time"-- $c Provided by publisher. 651 0 $a United States $x Public opinion. $x Public opinion. 650 0 $a Group identity $x Political aspects $z United States. 650 0 $a Fairness $x Political aspects $z United States. 700 1 $a Wright, Matthew, $d 1979- $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Levy, Morris, 1982- $t Immigration and the American ethos $d Cambridge, United Kingdom ; New York, NY : Cambridge University Press, 2020. $z 9781108772174 $w (DLC) 2019037309 830 0 $a Cambridge studies in public opinion and political psychology 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200505015732.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=39547AB45D1D11EA9B49BA2197128E48 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
