Creating an American Culture, 1775-1800: A Brief History with Documents
A very through look into Chinese immigration during the Exclusion period and how anti-Chinese legislation set the blueprints for future immigration law. This is an academic book, though, with copious citations and reads dry for a layperson (I suggest Dr. Lee's more recent The Making of Asian America: A History for similar history but across a wider span of time and broader populations).
This was published in 2003, though, so parallels to anti-brown people sentiment post- 9/11 are only addressed in the epilogue. The cyclical nature of history is very apparent throughout the rest of the book, though, so if anyone's been following the 2017 travel ban attempts I do wonder what the 21st century equivalent of a paper son will be (as of July 2017, the SC added having a 'bonafide relationship' to a family member as a requirement to avoid the ban which is eerily similar to the family tie loophole during exclusion).
Might post more comprehensive review later.
