چکیده
American immigration policy have ignored the exclusion of those with ‘real’ disabilities, thus implying that these prohibitions were simply ‘common sense’. Baynton demonstrates that the exclusion of the disabled was neither logically necessary nor biologically determined. The book thus provides important new support for two of Baynton’s pathbreaking articles that have been previously published.1 The research for this book was thorough and intensive. The many case histories that are so effective in demonstrating and personifying his arguments were extracted by difficult digging in the archival records. His discussions of policy are based on thorough examination of published primary sources, and effectively utilise current scholarship on disability, eugenics and immigration. Baynton recognises that this research was limited largely to studying European arrivals in East Coast ports, and that Asian, African and Latin American immigrants may have had different experiences. However, this volume will provide an essential reference point for future work to examine the similarities and differences in American policy towards other immigrants with disabilities.
