Vincent Cannato, a historian at the University of Massachusetts, Boston, did not want his publisher to use the definite article in the subtitle, because "THE History of Ellis Island" sounded immodest. For once, however, the publicity pushers were right. American Passages is an exceptionally fine combination of vivid social history and careful policy analysis, as good a volume on the most visible symbol of American immigration history as you will find.
