SUMMARY:Daniel Denvir at City Lights Books
DESCRIPTION:All-American Nativism: How the Bipartisan War on Immigrants Explains Politics as We Know It \npublished by Verso Books (part of the Jacobin Series) \n\nAmerican history told from the vantage of immigration politics \n\n\nIt is often said that with the election of Donald Trump nativism was raised from the dead. After all\, here was a president who organized his campaign around a rhetoric of unvarnished racism and xenophobia. Among his first acts on taking office was to block foreign nationals from seven predominantly Muslim countries from entering the United States. But although his actions may often seem unprecedented\, they are not as unusual as many people believe. This story doesn’t begin with Trump. For decades\, Republicans and Democrats alike have employed xenophobic ideas and policies\, declaring time and again that “illegal immigration” is a threat to the nation’s security\, wellbeing\, and future. \nThe profound forces of all-American nativism have\, in fact\, been pushing politics so far to the right over the last forty years that\, for many people\, Trump began to look reasonable. As Daniel Denvir argues\, issues as diverse as austerity economics\, free trade\, mass incarceration\, the drug war\, the contours of the post 9/11 security state\, and\, yes\, Donald Trump and the Alt-Right movement are united by the ideology of nativism\, which binds together assorted anxieties and concerns into a ruthless political project. \nAll-American Nativism provides a powerful and impressively researched account of the long but often forgotten history that gave us Donald Trump. \nDaniel Denvir is a Fellow at Brown University’s Watson Institute and host of The Dig\, a podcast from Jacobin magazine. His journalistic work covers criminal justice\, the drug war\, immigration\, and politics and has appeared in the New York Times\, Jacobin\, Vox\, the Nation\, the Guardian\, and elsewhere. \nPraise for All-American Nativism \n\n“As Daniel Denvir’s exceptional book shows\, the history of US immigration politics is central to understanding how our many crises have converged in this moment. It’s precisely the kind of analysis our movements need to pry open the fissures of the current order\, and join in common struggle for a better world.” \n– Naomi Klein\, author of No Is Not Enough \n\n\n\n“This is the book we need\, a searing work of scholarship that explains how we entered the current hellscape of American politics and what we have to do to get out. The roots of white nativism are deep\, as Denvir’s book makes clear\, but like all roots can be pulled up and killed. All-American Nativism will help us do so.” \n– Greg Grandin\, author of The End of the Myth: From the Frontier to the Border Wall in the Mind of America \n\n\n“In this timely book\, Daniel Denvir tackles an important question: what is old and what is new in Trump’s nativism? Denvir helps us understand both the historical roots and the more recent routes by which ‘build the wall’ came to be the central rallying cry of racial-nationalism. A must-read for anyone who wants to know how we got here.” \n– Mae Ngai\, author of Impossible Subjects: Illegal Aliens and the Making of Modern America \n\n\n“All American Nativism excavates the history of anti-immigrant politics in the United States and reveals a difficult truth: Donald Trump is the symptom\, and not the cause\, of a bipartisan consensus underlying the current war on immigrants. In this sense\, Denvir’s book is an invaluable tool for organizers and activists who subscribe to what Paulo Freire meant by praxis\, where reflection and action are required to bring about transformative change.” \n– Pablo Alvarado\, National Day Laborer Organizing Network \n\n\n“All-American Nativism powerfully explores the deep roots of nativism in national life as well as how Trump’s agenda is itself the culmination of the policies and the logic pursued for decades by both major parties. In the process\, Daniel Denvir masterfully demonstrates the relationship between today’s debates over immigration and ongoing struggles against neoliberal austerity\, mass incarceration\, and the violence of the security state. In this way\, the book not only offers a diagnosis of the present\, but also a stirring vision of solidarity and change. This is an essential and profound work\, providing critical insights about the American experience and where to go from here.” \n– Aziz Rana\, author of The Two Faces of American Freedom \n\n\n“Traces the development of anti-immigrant sentiment.” \n– Cora Currier\, The Intercept \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
