Download or read book A Distant Heritage written by Larry Eldridge and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1995-07 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After an exhaustive analysis of over 1,200 seditious speech cases in every colonial American court that existed before 1700, Eldridge (history, Widener U., Chester, Pennsylvania) refutes the common belief that Americans did not enjoy free speech until the 18th century. He traces the growing leniency during the 17th century, and attributes it to a combination of tumult and social development, which made people more willing to criticize authorities, and the authorities less able to prevent criticism. The index is superbly detailed. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Download or read book A Nation of Immigrants written by Susan F. Martin and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-03-25 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Immigration makes America what it is and is formative for what it will become. America was settled by three different models of immigration, all of which persist to the present. The Virginia Colony largely equated immigration with the arrival of laborers, who had few rights. Massachusetts welcomed those who shared the religious views of the founders but excluded those whose beliefs challenged prevailing orthodoxy. Pennsylvania valued pluralism, becoming the most diverse colony in religion, language, and culture. A fourth, anti-immigration model also emerged during the colonial period, and was often fueled by populist leaders who stoked fears about newcomers. Arguing that the Pennsylvania model has best served the country, this book makes key recommendations for future immigration reform. Given the highly controversial nature of immigration in the United States, this second edition – updated to analyze policy changes in the Obama and Trump administrations – provides valuable insights for academics and policymakers.
