Highlights how Asian immigration has shaped the evolution of ideological and legal interpretations of America as a "nation of immigrants". Deals explicitly with the racial repositioning of Asians during the mid-20th century stemming from the retreat from segregation as the dominant racial ideology. Illustrates the shifting of immigration threat to hemispheric migrations. Considers critical themes of contemporary relevance such as immigration policy, socioeconomic inequality of the minorities, refugee policy, integration of immigrants, and international labour markets.
