U.S.-China rivalry has increasingly jeopardized the rights and interests of transnational actors whose lives span the two countries. Few are more exposed than the Chinese diaspora in the United States, which has faced heightened discrimination, regulatory scrutiny, and other government actions justified on national security grounds. How do members of the diaspora mobilize law to defend themselves, why have Chinese immigrant lawyers emerged as the principal organizers, and how does their litigation shape the implementation of policies targeting China and people of Chinese origin? Drawing on interviews, digital ethnography, two original surveys, and judicial archives, this article traces diaspora legal mobilization from the successful 2020 challenge to the executive order banning WeChat to its institutionalization in the Chinese American Legal Defense Alliance, which has since contested the China Initiative, state alien land laws, and the termination of Chinese students’ visa status. Litigation, the article argues, transformed dispersed grievances into sustained collective action and generated the organizational capacity, legal consciousness, and institutional infrastructure for successive rounds of mobilization, making the courtroom an overlooked arena of contemporary U.S.-China relations.

Have you ever found yourself considering what your life would be like in the absence of work? Would you feel a sense of loss past the finances? More people than ever before believe that a job is just a way of earning money – nothing more. While the popularity of this transactional mindset is understandable, I Want M.O.R.E. argues that it depletes our vision of our professional lives.

Sociologist Scott Schieman has drawn upon decades of research to investigate what people think and feel about work. He has distilled the essence of that data to create M.O.R.E., which stands for Mooring, Opening, Relating, and Exceeding. Mooring navigates identity, structure, and purpose. Opening explores ability, agency, and creativity. Relating explains connection, support, and respect. And Exceeding focuses on recognition, reputation, and status.

Helping readers harness their sense of self and better their quality of life, the M.O.R.E. framework catalogues each element, along with metrics to assess your current job, what you value in a job, and what you aspire to achieve. The book also features a M.O.R.E. assessment, guidance on maximizing its dimensions, and tips for navigating difficult work situations.

A crucial guide for anyone who wants to get more out of their life and work, I Want M.O.R.E. energizes and empowers readers by encouraging a transformational new mindset about the purpose of work. How you see yourself is at the centre of who you are, and that is too important to leave to chance. And a little M.O.R.E. often produces big results.
