Description
West: A Translation by Paisley Rekdal explores the complex history between America and its Asian American communities. This powerful collection weaves together poems, essays, and historical documents to examine the cultural impact of the transcontinental railroad on the nation. Paisley Rekdal's work is punctuated by images from the Angel Island Immigration Station, where Chinese migrants were detained during the Chinese Exclusion Act. The result is a haunting narrative that draws connections between the railroad's completion and this period in American history. Rekdal's unflinching hybrid collection offers a necessary perspective on America's past, revealing how our ideas about history continue to shape the nation today.
