DESCRIPTION:From 1910 to 1940\, over half a million people sailed through t
 he Golden Gate\, hoping to start a new life in America. But they did not a
 ll disembark in San Francisco\; instead\, most were ferried across the bay
  to the Angel Island Immigration Station. For many\, this was the real gat
 eway to the United States. For others\, it was a prison and their final de
 stination\, before being sent home.&nbsp\;\n\nIn&nbsp\;<em>Angel Island: I
 mmigrant Gateway to America</em>\, historians Erika Lee and Judy Yung prov
 ide the first comprehensive history of the Angel Island Immigration Statio
 n. Drawing on extensive new research\, including immigration records\, ora
 l histories\, and inscriptions on the barrack walls\, the authors produce 
 a sweeping yet intensely personal history of Chinese &ldquo\;paper sons\,&
 rdquo\; Japanese picture brides\, Korean students\, South Asian political 
 activists\, Russian and Jewish refugees\, Mexican families\, Filipino repa
 triates\, and many others from around the world.&nbsp\;\n\nThere will be a
  book signing after the program.&nbsp\;Reservations recommended to rsvp@ja
 nm.org or 213.625.0414 at least 48 hours prior.\n\n<a href="http://www.jan
