This thesis seeks to examine the relationship betweennationalism and anti-immigration sentiment as a result of wartime exacerbations on thesemovements and ideologies. The acceptance of immigrants and immigrant culture is directlycorrelated to the prevalence and intention of nationalism. As the United States attempted toformulate a cohesive and united identity within the early twentieth century, immigrants,particularly immigrants from enemy nations, were increasingly excluded from Americanidentification. As a result, immigrants underwent a series of Americanization efforts inaddition to increasing legal and social pressure to conform and confirm their allegiance totheir new country. Anti-immigration attitudes and nationalism worked together to reimagineboth American society and America’s role in global affairs.vii, 64 pagesenAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Emigration and immigrationGovernment policyThesis
