To quell these conflicts, some governments have resorted to the adoption of coercive assimilation policies aimed at erasing differences between natives and immigrants. Are these policies the best method for reducing hostilities? \u003ci\u003eNative Bias\u003c\/i\u003e challenges the premise of such regulations by making the case for a civic integration model, based on shared social ideas defining the concept and practice of citizenship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing from original surveys, survey experiments, and novel field experiments, Donghyun Danny Choi, Mathias Poertner, and Nicholas Sambanis show that although prejudice against immigrants is often driven by differences in traits such as appearance and religious practice, the suppression of such differences does not constitute the only path to integration. Instead, the authors demonstrate that similarities in ideas and value systems can serve as the foundation for a common identity, based on a shared concept of citizenship, overcoming the perceived social distance between natives and immigrants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAddressing one of the most pressing challenges of our time, \u003ci\u003eNative Bias\u003c\/i\u003e offers an original framework for understanding anti-immigrant discrimination and the processes through which it can be overcome.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"NewSouth Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46849584136428,"sku":"9780691222318","price":190.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/2210323482434.jpg?v=1759053998"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/mathias-poertner.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
