Join us this Friday at 1:00pm in the MacKirdy Reading Room (Hagey Hall 117) as Heather Lee  tells the ironic story of how anti-Chinese laws helped foster the ubiquitous presence of Chinese restaurants in the United States.  Lee's  research uncovers the formative role U.S. immigration law had on ethnic business like Chinese restaurants, and suggests how further study of ethnic capitalism should consider the dynamic interaction between exclusionary legal policy and the adaptive strategies of immigrant entrepreneurs.
