Immigrant Acts

"Lisa Lowe has written a brilliant, erudite, and meticulously thorough 'genealogy' and critique of the U.S. institution of citizenship and immigration acts. "Immigrant Acts" will take its place as an indispensable text for theorists in cultural studies, ethno-racial literary studies, and Asian American feminist materialist critique. A stunning "tour de force"!"--Jose David Saldivar, University of California, Berkeley "In "Immigrant Acts," Lowe grapples with some of the most challenging and complex issues before us in the humanities and in cultural studies today. This is a major work by a mature scholar who brings authority and wisdom to her subject."--Emory Elliott, University of California, Riverside ""Immigrant Acts" is a compelling and persuasively written presentation of Asian American 'cultural production.' It is both an exciting and instructive volume."--Barbara Harlow, The University of Texas at Austin
