Immigration Restrictions Then and Now: Short Stories of Edith Eaton (Sui Sin Far).
Suzanne Brown discusses three 1912 short stories by Edith Eaton (Sui Sin Far) that examine the Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882 and its effects on the Chinese immigrant community. Eaton's stories explore assimilation issues, family separation, discrimination, and fear of deportation in ways that will resonate in 2019. Audience members are encouraged to read the three short stories--"Mrs. Spring Fragrance," "In the Land of the Free," and "The Americanizing of Pau Tsu"--now available at Ilsley Public Library.
