Like no other book before, it explores how racialized, gendered, and historical anxieties shaped our current understandings of the histories of immigrant women. The book takes us from the first federal immigration restrictions against Asian prostitutes in the 1870's to the immigration "reform" measures of the late 1960's. Throughout this period, topics such as morality, family, marriage, poverty, and nationality structured historical debates over women's immigration and citizenship. At the border, women immigrants, immigration officials, social service providers, and federal judges argued the grounds on which women would be included within the nation. As interview transcripts and court documents reveal, when, where, and how women were welcomed into the country depended on their racial status, their roles in the family, and their work skills. Gender and race mattered. The book emphasizes the comparative nature of racial ideologies in which the inclusion of one group often came with the exclusion of another. It explores how U.S. officials insisted on the link between race and gender in understanding America's peculiar brand of nationalism. It also serves as a social history of the law, detailing women's experiences and strategies, successes and failures, to belong to the nation. 517 3 $aWomen, immigration, and citizenship, 1870-1965 606 $aEmigration and immigration law$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aSocial role$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCitizenship$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aWomen immigrants$xGovernment policy$zUnited States$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xGovernment policy$xHistory 615 0$aEmigration and immigration law$xHistory. 615 0$aSocial role$xHistory. 615 0$aCitizenship$xHistory. 615 0$aWomen immigrants$xGovernment policy$xHistory. 676 $a305.420973 676 $a325.73 676 $a325.73/082 686 $a86.58$2bcl 686 $a15.85$2bcl 700 $aGardner$b Martha$01015468 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996248294303316 996 $aThe Qualities of a Citizen$92371534 997 $aUNISA
