Ideological Exclusion & Deportation: Political Repression through the Suppression of Free Expression

In Threat of Dissent: A History of Ideological Exclusion and Deportation in the United States, Julia Rose Kraut reveals how the United States has a long history of barring or expelling foreign noncitizens based on their political expressions and associations to suppress dissent throughout the twentieth and twenty-first centuries, from the War on Anarchy to the Cold War to the War on Terror–-a history which includes Emma Goldman, Ernest Mandel, Carlos Fuentes, Charlie Chaplin, and John Lennon. Robert L. Tsai has called Threat of Dissent “A must-read for those who care about immigration or the First Amendment.” To celebrate the publication of the paperback edition, here is a brief excerpt from the book.
