Reviews
Moral and Immoral Whiteness in Immigration Politics examines a policy issue that has been at the heart of US politics for centuries-that of immigration. Matos offers an innovative and fresh approach to understanding immigration attitudes in the US by looking at it through the lens of morality and whiteness. She then tests her theory with a series of empirical tests that take advantage of public opinion survey data as well as the roll call votes of elected officials. A must-read for scholars of political science, sociology, American studies, and public policy. * Marisa Abrajano, Professor of Political Science, University of California, San Diego * This is a timely, thoughtful, and wide-ranging book. Drawing on survey data, roll call votes, and historical analysis, Yalidy Matos offers fresh insights about the politics of immigration and whiteness in the United States. A must-read for students of public opinion, immigration, and racial and ethnic politics. * Daniel Tichenor, Philip H. Knight Chair of Political Science, University of Oregon *
