Rezension zu „FORGETFUL NATION “
"This book offers a deeply relevant argument in the wake of 9/11 and counter-terror. Ali Behdad provides psychological depth to immigration discourse with a nuanced examination of 'forgetting' as a mode of negation that both denies and acknowledges a past built on the exclusion of otherness."--Russ Castronovo, author of Necro Citizenship: Death, Eroticism, and the Public Sphere in the Nineteenth-Century United States "By way of valuable new readings of Jefferson, Hamilton, Tocqueville, Crevecoeur, and others, Ali Behdad has found a new way in to established terrain. Neither pro nor anti-immigration, per se, this book traces the cultural workings and productions of immigration politics, an angle explored by few contributors to the immigration literature. A Forgetful Nation should be required reading for all those interested in the long and often hidden history of nation-building in the United States."--Bonnie Honig, author of Democracy and the Foreigner "This impressive work persuasively argues that the cultural identity of the United States historically excludes immigrants... Overall, this is a highly recommended study." --Kristin Whitehair, Multicultural Review "This lucid book, written with quiet passion, is provocative and insightful in its analysis of contemporary policy..." --James Dawes, American Literature
