Xenophobia in America: a Long and Painful History
Erika Lee

Immigrants built America, but the irrational fear and hatred of newcomers has more than once threatened to tear our nation apart. Join prize-winning scholar Erika Lee, author of the new book America for Americans: A History of Xenophobia in the United States, for a discussion of the historical roots of one of the most divisive forces in our political life.  Co-sponsored by the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute of the University of Minnesota with financial  support from the Friends of the Ramsey County Libraries.
