University of Minnesota Press20081 online resource (272 p.)Description based upon print version of record.0-8166-5076-4 0-8166-5075-6 Includes bibliographical references and index.Introduction : sanctioning immigrants : "ending welfare as we know it" -- New nativism and welfare reform: Asian immigrants as racialized foreigners -- Welfare reform and the politics of citizenship -- Refugees betrayed -- The rush for citizenship : naturalization as a technocratic apparatus of exclusion -- On not making ends meet : mothers without citizenship -- The devaluation of immigrant families -- Conclusion : the continuing significance of racialized citizenship.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.Women immigrantsServices forUnited StatesAsian American womenServices forUnited StatesChildren of immigrantsServices forUnited StatesPublic welfareUnited StatesElectronic books.Women immigrantsServices forAsian American womenServices forChildren of immigrantsServices forPublic welfare362.83/9Fujiwara Lynn1964-976469MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454450703321Mothers without citizenship2224400UNINA
