Throughout American History, Citizens Have Encountered People Who Are Illegal - That Is, People Who Have No Legal Right To Be In The United States Or To Freedom Of Movement Because Of Their Immigration Status Or Race. Like Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn, These Citizens Face The Conflict Between Sympathy For The Unlawful Other And The Force Of The Law. In Illegal Migrations And The Huckleberry Finn Problem, John Park Explores Recurring Problems Of Status And Illegality In American Law And Society By Examining On-going Themes In American Legal History, Comparative Ethnic Studies, And American Literature. He Observes That In Reconsidering Racially Discriminatory Laws, Americans Have Celebrated Persons Who Were Out Of Status, As Well As The Citizens Who Had Helped Them Avoid American Law. Similarly, In Confronting Illegal Immigrants In Our Own Time, Many Americans Have Chosen To Ignore Or To Violate Federal Laws In Favor Of Assisting Such Persons. In Light Of These Experiences, Park Insists That The U.s. Ought To Rethink Policies That Have Criminalized Millions Of Immigrants, As The Injustice Of Such Rules Has Encouraged People To Disobey The Law, Thereby Undermining Broader Commitments To Principles Of Equality And To The Rule Of Law Itself. John S.w. Park Is An Associate Professor Of Asian American Studies At The University Of California At Santa Barbara. He Also Serves As The Associate Director Of The University Of California Center For New Racial Studies. The Huckleberry Finn Problem -- Race, Law, And Personhood In Huckleberry Finn -- Slavery And Wage Slavery -- Illegal Workers -- Immigrant Activism In The Shadow Of Law -- The Bread Of Knowledge -- Race, Immigration, And The Promise Of Equality -- Undocumented And Unafraid -- Utopian Visions And The Unlawful Other. John S.w. Park. Includes Bibliographical References (pages 251-261) And Index.
