Angel Island: Immigrant Gateway to America (2010)
Amazon
by Erika Lee and Judy Yung. Based on extensive new research and 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 and Jewish refugees, Mexican families, Filipino workers, and many others. Together, their stories offer a more complete and complicated history of immigration to America than we have ever known.  Although not exclusively about the Chinese experience, 70 percent of those who passed through Angel Island were Chinese.
