| Abstract |
"Illegal Immigrants/Model Minorities thinks through two figures-the Chinese illegal immigrant and the Chinese model minority-during the Cold War. Reading the two together sheds light on how the discussion of Chinese Americans in both literature and archival materials grapples with these constructs and creates competing usages of and perspectives on Chinese American history"-- Provided by publisher. |
