SUMMARY:Closing the Golden Door: Asian Migration and the Hidden History of Exclusion at Ellis Island
DESCRIPTION:Ellis Island and New York are associated with large-scale 
 European immigration while Angel Island and California are more often 
 associated with Asian immigration. How does our understanding of Asian 
 American history change when we shift our focus to Ellis Island and to New 
 York? Why did Asian immigrants come to Ellis Island and New York? At the 
 same time\, how does our understanding of Ellis Island change when we view 
 it from the perspectives of Asian immigrants and Asian Americans? Why were 
 Japanese New Yorkers being interned on Ellis Island during World War II? If 
 you have ever wondered about these questions\, join us for an accessible 
 exploration of Asian migration\, exclusion\, detention and deportation at 
 Ellis Island.\n\n\n\nAnna Pegler-Gordon is a Professor at Michigan State 
 University\, where she teaches in the Asian Pacific American Studies
