Abstract
This article focuses on the content and role of nostalgia in contemporary nativism in the United States. One type of nostalgia is for so-called “better” European immigrants of the early 20th century. Another type is for a 1950s America, before the onset of large-scale post-1965 immigration as well as civil rights legislation, women’s liberation, gay empowerment, and other dramatic changes. A focus on nostalgia for a mid-twentieth century “golden age” can enrich the analysis of current-day nativism’s links to demographic change ushered in by mass immigration, its appeal to a particular segment of the American population, and its connections to political party mobilizations.
