Uncover raw historical inscriptions and immigrant poetry from America’s past. This anthology features poignant verses etched by detainees at the unique Angel Island Immigration Station, the “Ellis Island of the West.” Professor Charles Egan meticulously deciphers these powerful writings from 1910-1945, offering profound personal accounts of hardship and hope during the process of “becoming American,” especially for Asian immigrants. This essential literary work illuminates early 20th-century global migration, cultural adaptation, and enduring human resilience. A vital read for students of history, migration studies, and anyone seeking authentic voices from America’s immigrant heritage.
