Annette Fuentes on two books: As Homeland came out, Harvard’s Samuel P. Huntington arrived in bookstores with Who Are We? The Challenges to America’s National Identity, the intellectual equivalent of the nativism expressed by Jim and Nancy. Huntington posits that Americans faced with a growing immigrant population need to protect Anglo-Protestantism as a shared culture. He writes that during economic downturns “white nativist movements are a possible and plausible response to these trends.” But if Huntington sees nativism as “plausible” and hence defensible because of his own identification with its basic tenets, Maharidge sees nativism and racism as fundamentally anti-democratic, the curdled byproducts of a failed economic system and the betrayal of working-class people whatever their color or creed.
