Synopsis
They braved the rough voyage across the ocean to attain the American dream, but the ancestors of America's rich and diverse social landscape first struggled to make a life in their new homeland. Through the immigrants' own words and contemporary photographs and illustrations, these inspiring volumes not only tell the story of each immigrant group, but also provide insight on what it means to be an American today. Once denied entrance to the United States by the infamous Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, Chinese Americans became one of America's most successful and respected ethnic groups.
