"This book attempts a general history of the anti-foreign spirit that I have defined as nativism. It tries to show how American nativism evolved its own distinctive patterns, how it has ebbed and flowed under the pressure of successive impulses in American history, how it has fared at every social level and in every section where it left a mark, and how it has passed into action. Fundamentally, this remains a study of public opinion, but I have sought to follow the movement of opinion wherever it led, relating it to political pressures, social organization, economic changes, and intellectual interests."--from the Preface, taken from back cover.

Patterns of American Nativism, 1860-1925

Strangers in the Land

In June 2005, John Higham, his wife September and his daughters Jordan and Katrina packed their bags and embarked on a 52 week global adventure, visiting 30 countries. They stayed with friends, strangers, college girls on spring break and Polish shipyard workers with a penchant for striped boxer shorts - and little else! A book to read with the family or perhaps en route to an adventure, 360 Degress Longitude is filled with funny stories, incredible pictures and a whole lot of sunshine.
