Book Description
As renowned historian Roger Daniels shows in this brilliant new work, America's inconsistent, often illogical, and always cumbersome immigration policy has profoundly affected our recent past. The federal government's efforts to pick and choose among the multitude of immigrants seeking to enter the United States began with the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882. Conceived in ignorance and falsely presented to the public, it had undreamt of consequences, and this pattern has been rarely deviated from since. Immigration policy in Daniels' skilled hands shows Americans at their best and worst, from the nativist violence that forced Theodore Roosevelt's 1907 "gentlemen's agreement" with Japan to the generous refugee policies adopted after World War Two and throughout the Cold War. And in a conclusion drawn from today's headlines, Daniels makes clear how far ignorance, partisan politics, and unintended consequences have overtaken immigration policy during the current administration's War on Terror. Irreverent, deeply informed, and authoritative, Guarding the Golden Door presents an unforgettable interpretation of modern American history.

Book Description
AMERICA-2151! is a tale 140 years into the future of America in days of unemployment, destitution, and violence. In it the Reverend John Sand Forrester, the charismatic founder of a new Christian faith, promises peace, love, and reconciliation but rallies 100,000,000 to his new "One True Faith" with the guarantee of salvation only for his followers. All others are destined for hell or purgatory. He seeks to return America to prosperity by amending the First Amendment to declare America a Christian nation, excising its immorality, and driving all non-Christians from the land. Jews must go first because they are murderers of the Lord, but ultimately all must go who are not of his new faith, the Brotherhood of Jesus Christ. Forrester's daughter Susan falls in love with a young Jewish geneticist whose experiments are anathema to her father. The nation, too, in the time of the story has many Muslims...
