- Description:
- Michigan State University Professor Anna Pegler-Gordon delivers a talk entitled, "Shanghaied in Hoboken: Asian Sailors as Workers and Immigrants." Pegler-Gordon describes how Asian seamen were incorporated into maritime work and how they suffered low pay, harsh conditions, virtual slavery, and harsh regulation under the federal Exclusion Act to prevent them from leaving their ships while in U.S. ports.

Pegler-Gordon explains the role of U.S. immigration officials in interpreting and enforcing the Exclusion Act, the racist nature of enforcement, and the slow improvement of conditions. She answers questions from the audience. Pegler-Gordon is introduced by Michigan State University Professor John P. Beck.
