Reviews

Winners of the 2016 Ralph J. Bunche Award, American Political Science Association One of Choice's Outstanding Academic Titles for 2015 Not only a solid piece of political scientific research, this book should play a central role in understanding of US party politics over the next several decades... A must-read. --Choice White Backlash is compelling ... a highly important and timely read. --Eric Kaufmann, Literary Review A remarkable contribution to the interdisciplinary field of critical migration studies. It's a book of interest to researchers and practitioners working in the field of political science, demography and migration as it provides insight into the political, demographical, and cultural dimensions of the USA today. --Dr. Olga R. Gulina, Journal of Global Analysis White Backlash builds a compelling argument. --George Hawley, Political Science Quarterly White Backlash represents a bold and challenging contribution to the study of immigration and its impact on contemporary politics and policymaking. It adds serious and sobering findings to the dialogue on race and ethnic politics, which we can only hope will be ameliorated in time. --Sara Wallace Goodman, Perspectives on Politics
