From 1910 to 1940, the Angel Island immigration station in San Francisco served as the processing & detention center for over one million people from around the world. The majority of newcomers came from China & Japan, but there were also immigrants from India, the Philippines, Korea, Russia, Mexico, & over seventy other countries. The full history of these immigrants & their experiences on Angel Island is told for the first time in this landmark book, published to commemorate the immigration station's 100th anniversary.

Based on extensive new research & oral histories, Angel Island: Immigrant Gateway to America examines the great diversity of immigration through Angel Island: Chinese "paper sons," Japanese picture brides, Korean refugee students, South Asian political activists, Russian & Jewish refugees, Mexican families, Filipino workers, & many others. Together, their stories offer a more complete & complicated history of immigration to America than we have ever known.

Like its counterpart on Ellis Island, the immigration station on Angel Island was one of the country's main ports of entry for immigrants in the early twentieth century. But while Ellis Island was mainly a processing center for European immigrants, Angel Island was designed to detain and exclude immigrants from Asia. The immigrant experience on Angel Island-more than any other site-reveals how U.S. immigration policies & their hierarchical treatment of immigrants according to race, ethnicity, class, nationality, & gender played out in daily practices & decisions at the nation's borders with real consequences on immigrant lives & on the country itself.

Angel Island: Immigrant Gateway to America is officially sponsored by the Angel Island Immigration Station.
