Making Americans

- Immigration, Race, and the Origins of the Diverse Democracy

About Making Americans

In the nineteenth century, virtually anyone could get into the United States. By the 1920s, however, U.S. immigration policy had become a finely filtered regime of selection. Desmond King looks at this dramatic shift, and the debates behind it, for what they reveal about the construction of an "American" identity.
