Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Text and poetry from immigrants who passed through the island which has been called the "Ellis Island of the West".

Book News Annotation:

Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay, was the entry, internment center, and often closest approach to the US for Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century. Here are the thoughts they carved and inkbrushed on their barrack's walls, discovered after the center closed in 1940. Facing pages of Chinese and English. No index.
