Inhoud:

On a June morning in 1870, seventy-five Chinese immigrants stepped off a train in New England. They threaded their way through a hostile mob and then their new employer lined them up and had them photographed. This work seeks to understand the social forces that brought this photograph into being, and the events it subsequently spawned.
