近代のファシズムや資本主義に疑問を持ち、非合理的な社会からの人間の開放を目指して啓蒙主義を批判する社会理論や哲学を研究したフランクフルト学派が展開した批判理論の1920年代にまで遡ります。本書は、これに関わった代表的な思想家・研究者であるルカーチ、ブロッホ、アドルノ、ベンヤミン、マルクーゼ、ハーバーマスらや、影響を与えた著作と研究の概略を示します。改訂第2版は世界で右傾化が取り沙汰される今日の社会に批判理論を当てはめ考えてみます。
   

  • Updates work on immigration debates and developments over the past decade.
  • Covers all three major waves of immigration.
  • Brings together white European immigration with Latin American and Asian immigration.

   
An updated, penetrating, and balanced analysis of one of the most contentious issues in America today, offering a historically informed portrait of immigration.
  

Americans have come from every corner of the globe, and they have been brought together by a variety of historical processes—conquest, colonialism, the slave trade, territorial acquisition, and voluntary immigration. In this Very Short Introduction, historian David A. Gerber captures the histories of dozens of American ethnic groups over more than two centuries and reveals how American life has been formed in significant ways by immigration. He discusses the relationships between race and ethnicity in the life of these groups and in the formation of American society, as well as explaining how immigration policy and legislation have helped to form those relationships. Moreover, by highlighting the parallels that contemporary patterns of immigration and resettlement share with those of the past - which Americans now generally regard as having had positive outcomes - the book offers an optimistic portrait of current immigration that is at odds with much present-day opinion. Newly updated, this book speaks directly to the ongoing fears of immigration that have fueled the debate about both illegal immigration and the need for stronger immigration laws and a border wall.

David A. Gerber is Distinguished Professor of History Emeritus at the University at Buffalo. He is the author of The Making of an American Pluralism and Authors of Their Lives.

"David Gerber has achieved a remarkable feat in synthesizing and interpreting a vast literature on American immigration over the centuries in this short introduction. Sensitive to historical detail but also attuned to broader perspectives, this well-written and engaging book is full of insights about the causes, consequences, and legal context of immigration and reminds us that current immigration debates have a long history." - Nancy Foner, author of From Ellis Island to JFK: New York's Two Great Waves of Immigration
  

"In this insightful, brief volume, Gerber makes effective use of recent historical scholarship in a cogent and highly accessible analysis of contemporary immigration issues." - Barbara M. Posadas, Northern Illinois University
