Summary What has an expanded immigration regime meant for how blacks express national attachment? In this book, Niambi Michele Carter argues that immigration, both historically and in the contemporary moment, has served as a reminder of the limited inclusion of African Americans in the body politic.

Carter draws on original interview material and empirical data on African American political opinion to offer the first theory of black public opinion
