From the villages of Fuzhou province in mainland China to the restaurants and garment factories of New York City's and San Francisco's Chinatown, Peter Kwong traces immigrants' lives and identifies contradictions in US immigration and labour policies. Controlling illegal immigration, he argues, is not a matter of guarding borders or setting quotas, but a labour issue; and until labour laws are enforced and organized labour reaches out to this rapidly growing work-force, they will continue to work in conditions approaching modern slavery.
A radical new analysis of illegal immigration from one of the country's foremost experts on Chinese immigration and labor. Peter Kwong traces Chinese immigrants' lives and exposes the contradictions in our national immigration and labor policies. Kwong uses the specifics of the Chinese experience to shed light on the dilemmas shared by illegal immigrants of color in general.
