First WorldViews Lecture Explores Nationalism & Immigration

Nationalism is first and foremost an ideology and movement and is not inherently a bad thing, but when it turns into a discourse of exclusion it can open the door for “pathologies” like nativism and neo-fascism to take hold, Professor William Arrocha told the audience at the first session of this year’s WorldViews Speakers Series Thursday night. Arrocha delivered his talk, “Stemming the Tide toward Nationalism” to a full house in the McGowan Building on the Institute’s downtown Monterey campus.
