Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Oriental Exclusion" is a significant sociological and historical examination of the policies and attitudes surrounding Asian immigration to the United States and Canada during the early 20th century. Written by R.D. McKenzie, this work provides a detailed analysis of the legislative frameworks, such as the Immigration Act of 1924, designed to restrict or prohibit individuals of Asian descent from entering North America.The study delves into the complex interplay of economic competition, social prejudice, and political maneuvering that fueled the exclusionist movement. McKenzie explores the broader implications of these policies on international relations within the Pacific region and the internal demographic shifts resulting from restrictive migration controls. By documenting the legal hurdles and social challenges faced by immigrant communities, the book offers a profound look at the construction of national identity and the history of racial discrimination in public policy.As a foundational text in the study of migration and race relations, "Oriental Exclusion" remains an essential resource for scholars and readers interested in the history of American immigration law and the historical context of Asian-American social experiences. It provides a critical lens through which to view the evolution of global mobility and the historical roots of modern border security and citizenship debates.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
