Closing the Golden Door

Asian Migration and the Hidden History of Exclusion at Ellis Island

Omschrijving

In popular memory, Ellis Island is typically seen as a gateway for Europeans seeking to join the ‘great American melting pot’. But as this fresh examination of Ellis Island's history reveals, it was also a major site of immigrant detention and exclusion, especially for Chinese, Japanese, and other Asian travellers and maritime labourers.
