What we are seeing at present is the return or, perhaps better stated, the dramatic increase in the deployment of the category native and, with this, an increasing hostility toward those who are considered non-native. Not only are well-rehearsed nativist discourses of class, race, and religion surfacing in the political mainstream but also, uniquely to this latest resurgence of nativism, liberal ideas and discourses themselves are being held up as ideological benchmarks by which to measure whether or not people belong to the nation. The nativist logic has thus spread across nations, across the political spectrum, from the fringes back into the mainstream, and into heretofore-thought safe political discourses. This book explores how and why this has happened
