• 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.
