- Description
- In Asia at the Door Kawakami addresses the Alien Land Act and argues for Japanese being able to become Americans. In doing so he does implicate Chinese as "less able" to be citizens. He especially addresses the anti-Asian sentiment in California and is basically arguing that the 'deep friendship" between Japan and America and Japanese unique cultural markers make them especially suitable for becoming American.
