{"product_id":"9780521191753","title":"Americanism in the Twenty-First Century : Public Opinion in the Age of Immigration","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book explores public opinion about being and becoming American, and its implications for contemporary immigration debates. It focuses on the causes and consequences of two aspects of American identity: how people define being American and whether people think of themselves primarily as American rather than as members of a panethnic or national origin group. Importantly, the book evaluates the claim - made by scholars and pundits alike - that all Americans should prioritize their American identity instead of an ethnic or national origin identity. It finds that national identity within American democracy can be a blessing or a curse. It can enhance participation, trust, and obligation. But it can be a curse when perceptions of deviation lead to threat and resentment. It can also be a curse for minorities who are attached to their American identity but also perceive discrimination.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48684033114347,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":203.26,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0758\/4484\/5803\/files\/9780521191753-1.jpg?v=1785756048","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.com.sg\/ja\/products\/9780521191753","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Singapore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
