"This superb volume heralds the welcome arrival of Routledge's series on "new racial studies." In John Park and Shannon Gleeson's expert curatorial hands, The Nation and its People teems with bracing insights from some of the University of California's best and brightest minds working at the intersection of race and immigration. The collection, dans ensemble, presses the indispensable point that who we are, as a body politic, is inextricably linked to immanent processes of racial discrimination and nativist exclusion."-Taeku Lee, Political Science and Law, University of California Berkeley"At a time when public discourse suggests race no longer matters, this book demonstrates otherwise. Park and Gleeson have organized a collection of thought-provoking essays that reveal the complex, shifting processes and patterns of race and racism in the US today. Centering experiences of multiple groups, the volume moves beyond black and white conceptions of race to underscore that racial inequalities continue to be deeply rooted in social structures. This book should be required reading for scholars of race, immigration, and inequality."-Leisy J. Abrego, Chicana/o Studies, University of California, Los Angeles"The Nation and Its Peoples is highly original and thought-provoking. The authors provide sophisticated analyses and compelling evidence to shed new light on the continuing significance of race and dispel the myths of a post-racial America." -Min Zhou, Ph.D., Tan Lark Sye Chair Professor of Sociology, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, and author of Contemporary Chinese America"While pundits may argue that we now "live in a post-racial society," an approach known as "new racial studies" provides powerful tools to unmask pernicious ideologies. Here, Park and Gleeson demonstrate that policy debates over immigration, naturalization, confinement, and deportation are inseparably intertwined with racialization projects. The quest for social justice will not prevail if this basic fact is ignored."-Lane Ryo Hirabayashi, Aratani Endowed Chair, Asian American Studies, University of California, Los Angeles
