Oriental Bodies charts the discursive transformations of U.S.
immigration policy between 1875 and 1942. Author James Tyner
concentrates on the confluence of eugenics, geopolitics, and
Orientalism as these intersect in the debates surrounding the
exclusion of immigrants from China, Japan, and the Philippines.
This unique work argues that United States immigration policy was
founded on a particular discourse of eugenics and geopolitics and
that this concentration was informed by a greater Orientalist
discourse. Drawing from American foreign policy, identity politics,
post-structuralism, post-colonialism, and feminist theory, this
fascinating study seeks to examine the construction of "Oriental
bodies" within the emergence of U.S. immigration policy and
explores how these constructions served political, social, and
economic interests.
