Scholars, journalists, and policymakers have long argued that the
1965 Immigration and Nationality Act dramatically reshaped the
demographic composition of the United States. In A Nation of
Immigrants Reconsidered, leading scholars of immigration explore
how the political and ideological struggles of the "age of
restriction"--from 1924 to 1965--paved the way for the changes to
come. The essays examine how geopolitics, civil rights, perceptions
of America's role as a humanitarian sanctuary, and economic
priorities led government officials to facilitate the entrance of
specific immigrant groups, thereby establishing the legal
precedents for future policies. Eye-opening articles discuss
Japanese war brides and changing views of miscegenation, the
recruitment of former Nazi scientists, a temporary workers program
with Japanese immigrants, the emotional separation of Mexican
immigrant families, Puerto Rican youth's efforts to claim an
American identity, and the restaurant raids of conscripted Chinese
sailors during World War II. Contributors: Eiichiro Azuma, David
Cook-Martin, David FitzGerald, Monique Laney, Heather Lee, Kathleen
Lopez, Laura Madokoro, Ronald L. Mize, Arissa H. Oh, Ana Elizabeth
Rosas, Lorrin Thomas, Ruth Ellen Wasem, and Elliott Young
