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 travelers and maritime laborers who reached New York City from Europe, the Americas and the Caribbean, and even within the United States. And from 1924 to 1954, the station functioned as a detention camp and deportation center for a range of people deemed undesirable. Anna Pegler-Gordon draws on immigrants' oral histories and memoirs, government archives, newspapers, and other sources to reorient the history of migration and exclusion in the United States"-- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a Ellis Island Immigration Station (N.Y. and N.J.) $x History. 610 27 $a Ellis Island Immigration Station (N.Y. and N.J.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00631491 650 0 $a Asians $x History $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Immigrants $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Noncitizen detention centers $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 7 $a Noncitizen detention centers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00805056 650 7 $a Asians $x Migrations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01765348 650 7 $a Immigrants. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00967712 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1900-1999 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781469665740 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011333.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=6B7F0B58DCB911EC8436229451ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
