An interesting collection of interviews and conversations
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
Newcomers to America is an interesting collection of interviews and conversations that candidly introduce over a dozen immigrants who tell their tales of leaving their countries and coming to the United States. The interviews capture the adaptation to a new culture and language, their steps toward citizenship, their traditions, and their hardships and successes. Although the immigrants interviewed in this book represented every corner of the world, most of the immigrants interviewed settled in the DC Baltimore area; it would have been nice to hear from immigrants in other parts of the country. The title of this book is also a bit confusing, because some of the interviewees came to the United States 50 years ago and a reader may be expecting the stories in this book to reflect the experiences of recent young immigrants. Overall the book does a good job explaining immigration from a historical and political aspect through the interviews and the author's additions. The best feature of Newcomers to America is the 20-page Food Potpourri collection of recipes in the back of the book that were contributed by the participants in this book.
