Abstract

Desmond King offers a richly researched, skillfully written account of the development of a race-based U.S. immigration policy during the 1920s. The shift to a "national origins" immigration policy is linked to domestic racial and ethnic politics and especially to racial segregation. Moreover, King contends that a grasp of the immigration debates and policies of the 1920s is instrumental to understanding contemporary racial and ethnic politics, including the controversies sur- rounding multiculturalism.
