Probationary Americans: Contemporary Immigration Policies and the Shaping of Asian American Communities / Edition 1

by John SW Park, Edward JW Park

Overview

Probationary Americans examines contemporary immigration rules and how they affect the make-up of immigrant communities. The authors' key argument is that immigration policies place race and class as important criteria for gaining entry to the United States, and in doing so, alter the makeup of America's immigrant communities.
