Reviews for Us Against Them
"Learned, historically grounded, and theoretically ambitious. Seldom have I read social science this well written and broadly conceived. The way that Kinder and Kam weave together decades of important research with their view of ethnocentrism is wonderful." - Samuel L. Popkin, University of California, San Diego"
