Download or read book U S Immigration Law and the Control of Labor 1820 1924 written by Kitty Calavita and published by Quid Pro Books. This book was released on 2020-07-04 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Reagan’s 1986 immigration reform law offered a composite of contradictory measures: sanctions curtailed employment of undocumented workers while other programs enhanced labor supply. Immigration law today continues the theme of contradictions and unmet goals. But hasn’t it always been so? Examining a century of U.S. immigration laws, from the nation’s early stages of industrialization to enactment of the quota system, Kitty Calavita explores the hypocrisy, subtext, and racism permeating an unrelenting influx of European labor. Now in its second edition, this groundbreaking book offers a materialist theory of the state to explain the zigzagging policies that alternately encouraged and ostensibly were meant to control the influx. The author adds a 2020 Preface to place the historical record into modern relief, even in the age of presidential characterization of immigrants as violent criminals and terrorists. Writing in a new Foreword, Susan Bibler Coutin is “struck by the relevance of Calavita’s analysis to current debates over immigration policy,” as this social history “reveals alternatives to the present moment: over much of U.S. history, government officials actively recruited immigrants, even when segments of the public sought restrictions.” The aim was not “social justice or human rights, but rather to fuel economic expansion, depress wages, and counter unionization.” The book is commended to a wide audience: “The theoretical discussion is accessible to new students as well as established scholars, and the rich documentary record sheds light on how current dynamics were set in motion.” “Calavita lucidly and brilliantly clarifies the linkages among economic structure, ideology, and law making. She effectively depicts the history of U.S. immigration legislation as a series of attempted resolutions to recurring dilemmas rooted in the fiscal and legitimation crises facing the state.” — Marjorie Zatz, Vice Provost, UC-Merced, in International Migration Review (1986)

Book excerpt: The United States experienced considerable economic expansion and social transformations between the Civil War and 1900. Industrialization and immigration were important elements of the changes and contributed not only to the growing wealth of the nation, but also to an increase in the industrial labor force. As the size of the industrial workforce increased, so too did the number of workers who were dissatisfied with their conditions and rebelled through a variety of ways. But the widespread upheaval by workers never manifested itself into a unified labor organization or political party. This paper addresses the causes of a weak labor movement in one Midwestern community, South Bend, Indiana. South Bend's experiences mirrored developments in many other communities during the Gilded Age. Its economic growth and industrialization accelerated considerably after the Civil War, as did the number of foreign born who were employed in the growing factories. Deteriorating working conditions led to several attempts by South Bend's workers to alleviate their condition through strikes or union organization, but with only minimal success. Though the Knights of Labor had a short lived presence in South Bend in the mid-1880s, there was never a widespread, persistent labor unity in the city. After examining the industrial and immigration developments in the United States as a whole, and South Bend, specifically, this dissertation concludes that South Bend's labor movement was hampered by the presence of a labor force divided by ethnicity. There were divisions between the native population and immigrant population, but also divisions between the various ethnic groups. Most of the immigrant groups created ethnic communities at the expense of class cohesion. In addition, the management policies of several large employers exacerbated the barriers by favoring one group of workers over another, or manipulating the laborers to prevent unity in the shops. The result of the varied ethnic antagonisms and management tactics was a fractured workforce.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Robber Barons and Wretched Refuse explores the connection between the so-called robber barons who led American big businesses during the Gilded Age and Progressive Era and the immigrants who composed many of their workforces. As Robert F. Zeidel argues, attribution of industrial-era class conflict to an "alien" presence supplements nativism—a sociocultural negativity toward foreign-born residents—as a reason for Americans' dislike and distrust of immigrants. And in the era of American industrialization, employers both relied on immigrants to meet their growing labor needs and blamed them for the frequently violent workplace contentions of the time. Through a sweeping narrative, Zeidel uncovers the connection of immigrants to radical "isms" that gave rise to widespread notions of alien subversives whose presence threatened America's domestic tranquility and the well-being of its residents. Employers, rather than looking at their own practices for causes of workplace conflict, wontedly attributed strikes and other unrest to aliens who either spread pernicious "foreign" doctrines or fell victim to their siren messages. These characterizations transcended nationality or ethnic group, applying at different times to all foreign-born workers. Zeidel concludes that, ironically, stigmatizing immigrants as subversives contributed to the passage of the Quota Acts, which effectively stemmed the flow of wanted foreign workers. Post-war employers argued for preserving America's traditional open door, but the negativity that they had assigned to foreign workers contributed to its closing.
