0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. To Understand The Border DebateBy Glen AaronHave you an interest in the border protection; immigration; Homeland Security debate? If you do; you will probably agree that any healthy discussion should be void of information bias; hip -shot conclusions; or bumper sticker cliches and based upon accurate data and historical fact.While accurate data and historical fact may not change an opinion;it nevertheless will allow meaningful discussion. A very good starting point is to purchase and read the recent release by the University of Arizona Press of author Linda C. Noel's Debating American Identity. Noel takes us to the seed of today's debates and creates greater understanding of where our polarization began on these subjects by reviewing the late 1900s relating to New Mexico and Arizona statehood admission.Those debates of the late 19th and early 20th century set forth the differing attitudes of Americans as they argued about how or whether newcomers could or should fit into the American identity. Then; as today; views ranged from exclusionism; assimilation; pluralism; or marginalization. Is it class status; race; or culture that determines American identity?This is a must read for every American on a subject that devils us; even today.Glen Aaron
