Lucy E. Salyer is a professor of history at the University of New Hampshire known for her work on the history of immigration law in the United States.
She authored Laws Harsh as Tigers: Chinese Immigrants and the Shaping of Modern Immigration Law, which won the Theodore Saloutos Book Award for the best book on immigration history.[1][2][3][4][5] Harsh as Tigers explores the origin of American immigration law in the late 19th and early 20th century.[6]
Under the Starry Flag: How a Band of Irish Americans Joined the Fenian Revolt and Sparked a Crisis over Citizenship (Cambridge: Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2018) explores the concept of legal expatriation, the idea that an individual can legally cease to be a citizen of their birth state by immigrating to and becoming a citizen of a different state.[7]
