In diesem Referat wird eine Analyse einer Einwanderungspolitik durchgeführt, welche insofern selektiv ist, als entweder nur nicht ausgebildete oder nur junge, hoch ausgebildete Personen für die Immigration zugelassen werden. Es ist eine Analyse der langfristigen Folgen einer solchen Einwanderungspolitik. Die Konsequenzen werden sowohl für das Immigrationsland als auch für das Auswanderungsland untersucht. (SH2)

"The Politics of Controlling Immigration" published on by Oxford University Press.

The author rejects the interpretation that US immigration history reflects a creed of liberal universalism & argues instead that a system of segregated race relations has coexisted with immigration policy & Americanization. His analysis focuses on the period from 1880 through the 1920s, when immigration policy was based on the "melting pot" image, despite the practice of restricting or excluding certain immigrant groups, including those from eastern & southern Europe. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 marked the beginning of this trend. The article also discusses efforts to Americanize Native American groups during the same period, as reflected in Hollywood films, contemporary literature, & federal legislation. The establishment of a "white" US identity included laws to prevent black & Asian immigration. The author concludes that scholars' past neglect of the role of race in immigration policy has limited our understanding of US identity. 70 References. J. R. Callahan
