Lowe, Lisa. “Immigration, Citizenship, Racialization: Asian American Critique.”Immigrant Acts: On Asian American Cultural Politics. Durham, NC: Duke UP, 1996. 1-36.
In the preface, Lowe describes her book as a “materialist critique of the institution of citizenship” that “name[s] the genealogy of the legal exclusion, disenfranchisement, and restricted enfranchisement of Asian immigrants as a genealogy of the American institution of citizenship” (ix). The first chapter, which is the introduction to the book’s project, traces the history of Asian immigration to the U.S., and anti-Asian immigration exclusion acts, in light of the various contradictions in economic and political imperatives at play in a given historical moment. She also works through a theory of culture as a site of material struggle, where some of these unresolved contradictions mentioned above emerge, and she brings the introduction up to the present with a discussion of labor and globalization. This chapter offers an accessible though sophisticated (Marxist-inflected) model for how to think about cultural texts in relation to historical/national/political debates, and it is a quick introduction to the history of Asians in the U.S.
