"For thirty years, from 1910 to 1940, Angel Island in San Francisco Bay was the first, often the only, toehold in America for immigrants from China. From the Cantonese Pearl River delta district of Taishan they sailed, fleeing famine and the foreign concessions, bound for the Land of the Flowery Flag, the Golden Mountain. Some were relatives of earlier Chinese immigrants who had come to America for Sutter's gold and stayed to help lay transcontinental railroad tracks. Others, in their anxiety to get to America at whatever cost, pretended to be relatives and arrived with identification papers bought in Canton, and with 'coaching papers," carefully constructed and memorized family backgrounds that they hoped would pass them through immigration examiners. The Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 had been relaxed somewhat under pressure from Chinese Government officials in Canton by 1910, when Angel Island was opened, for Chinese immigrants only. But the immigration laws, so far as the Chinese were concerned, seemed designed to exclude rather than to admit. ... "During the time they spent on the island, as little as a few days, as long as three years, they carved and ink brushed their concerns onto the walls of their barracks. One hundred thirty-five calligraphic poems survived, first discovered by a Federal park ranger after Angel Island was abandoned in 1940. These tell of voyages from China, detainment on the island, attitudes toward the first Americans encountered -- immigration officials and social workers -- and finally the disappointments and triumphs of the immigrants. "To augment the translations of the poems the authors have interviewed older Chinese who once passed through Angel Island and immigration workers as well, and have set their recollections down verbatim as oral history. Together with the interviews, the poems -- angry, heroic, wrenchingly forlorn, despairing, provocative, resistant -- convey, as no secondhand or thirdhand account could ever do, what it was like to be Chinese and to be on Angel Island." "-New York Times"

評分想到瞭一點題外話,楊周翰先生說,研究外國文學的中國人,尤其要有一個中國人的靈魂。
評分很喜歡采訪部分
評分早期移民監;憤怒、悲哀和無力力透紙背。當初教育程度不高的勞工都能寫五七言詩,現在卻很少有人能做到瞭。
評分我本將心嚮明月,奈何明月照溝渠。

評分2014年,新西兰,我在箭镇见到了当年华工们初次踏上异国土地的居所——一些只能称之为地洞或坡洞的容身空间。 后来我又在其他地方见过华工们生活过的痕迹,无一不与幽暗逼仄相关联。 在这本书里,亦有相当的篇幅来叙写移民美国的华工们最初“领教”到的身体折损与姿态侮辱:旧...
