Sommario/riassunto

Lynn Fujiwara reveals a neglected aspect of the Asian immigrant story: the ill effects of welfare reform on Asian immigrant women and families. Fujiwara argues that these measures redefined immigrants as outsiders whose lack of citizenship was used to deem them ineligible for public benefits. At once astute policy analysis and insightful research, Mothers without Citizenship offers nuance to the discussion of the consequences of social policy on Asian immigrant communities.

Sommario/riassunto

North Korea has traditionally been seen as militarily superior to South Korea in the long feud between the two nations. This brilliantly argued book taps into a great deal of news interest in North Korea at the moment in the wake of recent hostility against Japan. Hamm controversially shows that the received idea of Koreas military strength is partly a myth created by South Korea to justify a huge programme of rearmament.
