Landed

Poignant journey through Angel Island immigration challenges.

If you're interested in the complexities of immigration and the pursuit of the American Dream, "Landed" might just captivate you. It's a deeply human story that not only brings historical struggles to life but also offers insight into the perseverance of the human spirit in the face of adversity. The rich oil paintings complement the narrative, adding an emotional depth to Sun's experience that might resonate with anyone fascinated by personal and historical journeys.

Description

Sun is ready to leave his village in China for America, the place known as Gum Saan, Gold Mountain. His father warns him, though, that passage will not be easy. Because of the 1882 Chinese Exclusion Act, new immigrants like Sun are detained at Angel Island until they are called to take a difficult oral exam before they can "land" - leave Angel Island and go ashore. On the boat, Sun had studied maps of his village and memorized facts about his ancestors. But as the weeks pass in detainment, the map's compass points swirl in his memory, and Sun worries that he will lose his direction and be turned away. The oil paintings are rich with historical details in this vivid recounting, based on the author's father-in-law's experiences, of a disturbing chapter in Chinese American history.
