Entry: Race, Nationalism, and Patriotism, Part III: Patriotism Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/race_nationalism_and_patriotism_part_iii_patriotism#15893 Post contents: A very good post. I value rootedness, which is why I have chosen to live in the city in which I was born. But I would point out that Calvin Coolidge's explanation for signing the Immigration Act of 1924--"America must remain American"--made as much sense to Americans who lived far away from the immigrants who were then pouring into America as it did to those living in the cities being transformed by those immigrants.
