Guest on The Book Review · 3 books · 1 episode across 1 podcast

Giin Yang appeared on The Book Review for an episode titled Immigration Reform, Past and Present to discuss historical and contemporary works related to immigration and economics. During the interview, Yang brought up her husband's book, The Price of Peace, describing it as an intellectual biography of the economist John Maynard Keynes, and noted that it coincidentally shared its publication date from Random House with another title. Moving into historical contexts, Yang discussed Oscar Handlin's book The Uprrooted, which was published in the early 1950s. She noted that Handlin's work won a Pulitzer Prize and was frequently assigned in schools, playing a significant role in shaping immigration concepts over time. Additionally, Yang mentioned John F. Kennedy's book A Nation of Immigrants, explaining how earlier historical works and concepts fed into the development and themes of Kennedy's publication. Through these references, Yang mapped out an intellectual lineage of literature dealing with immigration and economic thought.
