'Identities on Trial in the United States' weaves together the cases of a tortured student from a Myanmar prison, an apostate from Islam, several victims of ethnic and sexual violence from Indonesia, and men and women escaping China's draconian one-child policy and prohibition of Falun Gong practice, among others. Joann Yeh, an immigration attorney, co-authored three chapters to examine asylum seeking in a Mandarin-speaking Californian community and discuss the failure of the United States quasi-judicial immigration system, highlighting the 'asylum lawfare' in courtroom drama, and to argue for an 'anthropological advantage' in asylum preparation. This book is essential text for policy makers, students, lawyers, activists, and those engaged with migration studies seeking a more just asylum outcome."-- $c Back cover. 650 0 $a Asylum, Right of $z United States. 650 0 $a Asians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z United States. 650 0 $a Immigration enforcement $z United States. 650 0 $a Administrative courts $z United States. 650 0 $a Forensic anthropology $z United States. 650 7 $a Administrative courts. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00796828 650 7 $a Asians $x Legal status, laws, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00818705 650 7 $a Asylum, Right of. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00819842 650 7 $a Forensic anthropology. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00931952 650 7 $a Immigration enforcement. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01748828 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 700 1 $a Yeh, Joann, $e author. 776 08 $i Online version: $a Ngin, ChorSwang. $t Identities on trial. $d Lanham : Lexington Books, 2018 $z 9781498574747 $w (DLC) 2018033882 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211030933.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=273B85D82E9411E9B5CB1E4197128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
