During the Golden Adventure fiasco in 1993, a ship carrying illegal Chinese immigrants was intercepted in New York harbor, generating a fever of public attention on Chinese illegal immigration. Kwong (Asian American studies, Hunter Coll.) explores a dark side of American realities that create the conditions that encourage human smuggling and modern slavery. At the heart of the issue lies the ever-strong demand of American business for vulnerable, docile, and unprotected labor. As Kwong notes, the illegal immigrant problem must be viewed and understood in the context of the underlying supply-and-demand principle enshrined in traditional U.S. economics. Kwong carefully traces the origin of Chinese illegal immigration, the external causes, and the internal problems related to American labor laws and union issues. The result is a provocative and alarming book that should appeal to a wide audience. Recommended for all libraries.?Mark Meng, St. John's Univ. Lib., New York
