Spreading democracy abroad or protecting business at home: this book offers a new look at the history of the contest between isolationalism and internationalism that is as current as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and as old as America itself, with profiles of the people, policies, and events that shaped the debate.

Conventionally, US immigration history has been understood through the lens of restriction and those who have been barred from getting in. In contrast, The Good Immigrants considers immigration from the perspective of Chinese elites—intellectuals, businessmen, and students—who gained entrance because of immigration exemptions. Exploring a century of Chinese migrations, Madeline Hsu looks at how the model minority characteristics of many Asian Americans resulted from US policies that screened for those with the highest credentials in the most employable fields, enhancing American economic competitiveness. The earliest US immigration restrictions targeted Chinese people but exempted students as well as individuals who might extend America's influence in China. Western-educated Chinese such as Madame Chiang Kai-shek became symbols of the US impact on China, even as they patriotically advocated for China's modernization. World War II and the rise of communism transformed Chinese students abroad into refugees, and the Cold War magnified the importance of their talent and training. As a result, Congress legislated piecemeal legal measures to enable Chinese of good standing with professional skills to become citizens. Pressures mounted to reform American discriminatory immigration laws, culminating with the 1965 Immigration Act. Filled with narratives featuring such renowned Chinese immigrants as I. M. Pei, The Good Immigrants examines the shifts in immigration laws and perceptions of cultural traits that enabled Asians to remain in the United States as exemplary, productive Americans.

Excerpt from Y. America's Peril The Real America has been suggested to me as a title for this book, but I wrote it under the name of Y. And I shall let it remain at that - perhaps with an alias. And why you will probably ask, and I, who wish you to read and be interested in what follows, must explain. This book purports to give some account of the American as he impressed me as he unfortunately impresses many. The American is always striving for records and he prides himself, amongst many other things, on his spasmodic flashes of brilliant brevity, for on general occasions he can be as loquacious and diffuse as any other man. He calls the Elevated Railway The L.' He asked me what I thought of it as a saving of time. Resist ing a natural desire to pun without the assistance of the aspirate, I agreed with him that it was very short and convenient, and he seemed pleased. This desire for records is rather catching, and in dealing with the American it seemed to me only right to give him a record title. It may not hold the record for brevity, but it will certainly save me much writing, and it must at least be a tie. Y. Stands for Yankee, and although I know I shall be told that the genus Yankee has his habitat in New England, to the great majority of readers Yankee is synonymous with American, and I shall so use it personally or collectively, as may be necessary, throughout these pages.

A meticulous work of history, cultural criticism, and political analysis, Monitored Peril illuminates the unstable relationship between the practices of commercial television programs, liberal democratic values, and white supremacist ideology. The book clearly demonstrates the pervasiveness of racialized discourse throughout U.S. society, especially as it is reproduced by network television.

In this classic book on the meaning of multiculturalism in larger American society, Gary Okihiro explores the significance of Asian American experiences from the perspectives of historical consciousness, race, gender, class, and culture. While exploring anew the meanings of Asian American social history, Okihiro argues that the core values and ideals of the nation emanate today not from the so-called mainstream but from the margins, from among Asian and African Americans, Latinos and American Indians, women, and the gay and lesbian community. Those groups in their struggles for equality, have helped to preserve and advance the founders’ ideals and have made America a more democratic place for all.
