The truth is quite the\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003econtrary. In this book, David R. Morse details how racism and nativism have been constants in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAmerica, from the founding of Jamestown to the administration of Donald Trump.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most egregious example of racism has been directed at African Americans, who came to this\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ecountry not of their own free will, but as slaves. From the Civil War to the Civil Rights movement, to\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlack Lives Matter, the struggle for equality has been ongoing and so often contested by Whites.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, as various immigrant groups have come to the U.S., the public and the government\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ehave responded by vilifying them, often with violence, once they arrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book makes a cogent argument that people who are, or were, different from the country's\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhite Anglo founders have always been viewed with suspicion. At the same time, Blacks and immigrant\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003egroups have contributed to the nation's growth and the development of a national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith individual chapters for specific ethnic groups, this book explores the implications of race and\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eethnicity on science and the Census, and how racial classifications and theories have changed over\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003etime. Morse also looks to the future and examines various evidence that points to the role of race in\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe coming decades, as America's White population approaches less than half the U.S. population.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pyp Academy Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781951591410\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 422\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.86d","brand":"David R.
