  • "Angel Island, in San Francisco Bay, was the entry, internment center, and often closest approach to the US for Chinese immigrants in the early 20th century. Here are the thoughts they carved and inkbrushed on their barrack's walls, discovered after the center closed in 1940. Facing pages of Chinese and English. No index."
  • "Unlike the first edition of Island, this revised edition uses the real names of our interviewees and includes photographs of them. Volunteers pored over twenty-seven rolls of microfilm that had been scanned by Ancestry.com in an effort to determine the actual detention time, exclusions, and appeals for Chinese applicants at Angel Island (see tables 1 and 2 in the appendix). The bibliopgraphy is updated; a map showing the emigrant districts in Guangdong has been added, as well as a glossary of Chinese names and terms mentioned in the book."
  • "In this revised edition sixty-nine poems in the main text have been combined with the sixty-sis poems in the appendix into one section. Chinese poems that had been found on the wall s of the immigration stations at Ellis Island in New York and at Victoria, B.C. in Canada are also included. ..."
