Description
The Nation features an article, by Mari Uyehara, that connects the Page Act of 1875 - a law that primarily prohibited the immigration of Chinese women to the United States - with the 2021 Atlanta mass shooting that targeted Asian spas. The article provides a perspective on how the Page Act marked Chinese female immigrants as sex workers, the impact of that stereotype on American society, and how it connects to the Atlanta shooting.
