63] -- The East Asia

present “Civic Legacies and Immigrant Incorporation in East Asian
Democracies" at George Washington University, Elliott School of
International Affairs, 1957 E Street NW, Room 505, WDC 20052, on Fri., Feb. 28
from 12:30 to 1:45 PM. How do we explain divergent patterns of immigrant
incorporation in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan given the similarities between
each country’s immigration and citizenship policies, their overlapping
immigrant populations largely from neighboring Asian countries, and their
common dilemmas of accommodating social diversity while adhering to liberal
democratic principles? Based on over 150 in-depth interviews with immigrants,
pro-immigrant activists, and government officials and 28 focus groups with the
major foreign resident groups in each country, this book prioritizes the role
played by civil society actors—including migrants themselves—in giving voice to
migrant interests, mobilizing migrant actors, and shaping public debate and
policy on immigration. The author, Erin
Aeran Chung, Associate Professor of East Asian Politics, Department of
Political Science, Johns Hopkins University, will speak. RSVP at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/civic-legacies-and-immigrant-incorporation-in-east-asian-democracies-tickets-91202730823?aff=nrc.

68] -- On Fri., Feb. 28
from 7 to 9 PM, Daniel Denvir will discuss "All-American Nativism"
with Christy Thornton, hosted by Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225
Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201. This is
a major recasting of American history from the vantage of immigration
politics. It is often said that with the
election of Donald Trump nativism was raised from the dead. After all, here was
a president who organized his campaign around a rhetoric of unvarnished racism
and xenophobia. Among his first acts on taking office was to issue an executive
order blocking Muslim immigrants from entering the United States. But although
his actions may often seem unprecedented, they are not as unusual as many people
believe. This story doesn’t begin with Trump. For decades, Republicans and
Democrats alike have employed xenophobic ideas and policies, declaring time and
again that “illegal immigration” is a threat to the nation’s security,
wellbeing, and future.
Denvir
is a Visiting Fellow in International and Public Affairs at Brown University’s
Watson Institute, a writer in residence at The Appeal, and the host of The Dig
podcast on Jacobin Radio. Thornton teaches sociology and Latin American studies
at Johns Hopkins University. See
