Today, roughly 70 percent of all visas for legal immigration are
reserved for family members of permanent residents or American
citizens. Family reunification--policies that seek to preserve
family unity during or following migration--is a central pillar of
current immigration law, but it has existed in some form in
American statutes since at least the mid-nineteenth century. In
Fictive Kinship, sociologist Catherine Lee delves into the
fascinating history of family reunification to examine how and why
our conceptions of family have shaped immigration, the meaning of
race, and the way we see ourselves as a country. Drawing from a
rich set of archival sources, Fictive Kinship shows that even the
most draconian anti-immigrant laws, such as the Chinese Exclusion
Act of 1882, contained provisions for family unity, albeit for a
limited class of immigrants. Arguments for uniting families
separated by World War II and the Korean War also shaped
immigration debates and the policies that led to the landmark 1965
Immigration Act. Lee argues that debating the contours of family
offers a ready set of symbols and meanings to frame national
identity and to define who counts as "one of us." Talk about
family, however, does not inevitably lead to more liberal
immigration policies. Welfare reform in the 1990s, for example,
placed limits on benefits for immigrant families, and recent
debates over the children of undocumented immigrants fanned
petitions to rescind birthright citizenship. Fictive Kinship shows
that the centrality of family unity in the immigration discourse
often limits the discussion about the goals, functions and roles of
immigration and prevents a broader definition of American identity.
Too often, studies of immigration policy focus on individuals or
particular ethnic or racial groups. With its original and
wide-ranging inquiry, Fictive Kinship shifts the analysis in
immigration studies toward the family, a largely unrecognized but
critical component in the regulation of immigrants' experience in
America.
