{"product_id":"islanders-teow-lim-goh-9781942280316","title":"Islanders","description":"A blend of fact, fiction, politics, and intimacy this poetry book chronicles a forgotten episode in American history and prefigure today's immigration debates. Between 1910 and 1940, Chinese immigrants to America were detained at the Angel Island Immigration Station in the San Francisco Bay. As they waited for weeks and months to know if they could land, some of the detainees wrote poems on the walls. All the poems on record were found in the men's barracks; the women's quarters were destroyed by a fire. The collection imagines the lost voices of the detained women, while also telling the stories of their families on shore, the staff at Angel Island, and the 1877 San Francisco Chinatown Riot.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Teow Lim Goh\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1942280319\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781942280316\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bower House\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 90\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d","brand":"Teow Lim Goh","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097174319359,"sku":"9781942280316","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islanders-teow-lim-goh-9781942280316","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
