| Summary: | When scholars study the Protestant response to immigration in America, they usually include this topic within a larger account of nativism. William J. Phalen instead addresses the subject directly and in a more comprehensive manner in this book based upon his dissertation. Phalen incorporates a thematic approach to describe evangelical Protestantism's fearful reaction to the waves of immigrants who entered America during the nineteenth century. Phalen argues that Protestants, although hopeful that evangelization would bring about assimilation, supported legislative restriction instead by the early twentieth century., Phalen's study focuses heavily upon Protestant anti-Catholicism, while also devoting each chapter to a particular theme. |
