“A truly significant contribution to the field, especially the chapters that offer historically grounded approaches to policies and events with great contemporary importance and interest. Very few other books accomplish that feat.”--Charlotte Brooks, author of American Exodus: Second Generation Chinese Americans in China, 1901–1949
