In \u003cem\u003eAmericans in Waiting\u003c\/em\u003e, Hiroshi Motomura looks to a forgotten part of our past to show how, for\u003cbr\u003eover 150 years, immigration was assumed to be a transition to citizenship, with immigrants essentially being treated as future citizens--Americans in waiting. Challenging current conceptions, the author deftly uncovers how this view, once so central to law and policy, has all but vanished. Motomura\u003cbr\u003eexplains how America could create a more unified society by recovering this lost history and by giving immigrants more, but at the same time asking more of them. A timely, panoramic chronicle of immigration and citizenship in the United States, \u003cem\u003eAmericans in Waiting\u003c\/em\u003e offers new ideas and a fresh\u003cbr\u003eperspective on current debates.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiroshi Motomura\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/01\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.14h x 6.24w x 0.72d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195336085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHiroshi Motomura \u003c\/strong\u003eis Susan Westerberg Prager Professor of Law at UCLA and author of Americans in Waiting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Oxford University Press, USA","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":39930760757363,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":34.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_ec2e2b19-7985-4056-bbde-3999c2ec3c14.jpg?v=1647699236","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/en-de\/products\/americans-in-waiting-the-lost-story-of-immigration-and-citizenship-in-the-united-states-9780195336085","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
