This is "the first book devoted entirely to both Chinese immigrants and the American immigration officials who sought to keep them out. Erika Lee explores how Chinese exclusion laws not only transformed Chinese American lives, immigration patterns, identities, and families but also recast the United States into a 'gatekeeping nation.' Immigrant identification, border enforcement, survaillance, and deportation policies were extended far beyond any controls that has existed in the United States before." -- from the back cover.
