Mae Ngai offers a close reading of the legal regime of restriction that commenced in the 1920's?its statutory architecture, judicial genealogies, administrative enforcement, differential treatment of European and non-European migrants, and long-term effects. She shows that immigration restriction, particularly national-origin and numerical quotas, remapped America both by creating new categories of racial difference and by emphasizing as never before the nation?s contiguous land borders and their patrol."-from publisher website 410 0$aPolitics and society in twentieth-century America. 606 $aNoncitizens$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aEmigration and immigration law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aIllegal immigration$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States$xHistory 615 0$aNoncitizens$xHistory. 615 0$aEmigration and immigration law$xHistory. 615 0$aIllegal immigration$xHistory. 615 0$aCitizenship$xHistory. 676 $a342.73083 700 $aNgai$b Mae M.$01014828 712 02$aAmerican Council of Learned Societies. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248115703316 996 $aImpossible subjects$92366706 997 $aUNISA
