Exceptional States examines new configurations of marriage,
immigration, and sovereignty emerging in an increasingly mobile
Asia where Cold War legacies continue to shape contemporary
political struggles over sovereignty and citizenship. Focused on
marital immigration from China to Taiwan, the book documents the
struggles of these women and men as they seek acceptance and
recognition in their new home. Through tracing parallels between
the predicaments of Chinese marital immigrants and the uncertain
future of the Taiwan nation-state, the book shows how intimate
attachments and emotional investments infuse the governmental
practices of Taiwanese bureaucrats charged with regulating
immigration and producing citizenship and sovereignty. Its
attention to a group of immigrants whose exceptional status has
become necessary to Taiwan's national integrity exposes the social,
political, and subjective consequences of life on the margins of
citizenship and sovereignty.
