Consuming Citizenship: Children of Asian Immigrant Entrepreneurs
ISBN: 9780804752480 / Angielski / Miękka / 2005 / 184 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych.

ISBN: 9780814768013 / Angielski / Twarda / 2011 / 213 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In Entitled to Nothing, Lisa Sun-Hee Park investigates how the politics of immigration, health care, and welfare are intertwined.

Park argues that the notions of "public charge" and "public burden" were reinvigorated in the 1990s to target... In Entitled to Nothing, Lisa Sun-Hee Park investigates how the politics of immigration, health care, and welfare are intertwined. Documenting the form...
