Reviews

A compelling, lucid, accessible account of the complex negotiations between Fujianese youth and the cause lawyers who represent them in court. Statz has succeeded in making a complex legal context accessible to the lay reader. This book is not only relevant to experts but will also be enjoyed by undergraduate students of anthropology, migration, and legal studies, as well as practitioners in relevant fields. --Naomi Glenn-Levin Rodriguez, author of Fragile Families: Foster Care, Immigration, and Citizenship A humanistic, wonderfully written, engaging, and terribly important work of scholarship in a crucial area of research. --Robert Barsky, author of Undocumented Immigrants in an Era of Arbitrary Law: The Flight and the Plight of People Deemed Illegal
