Sobre este áudio
Stories navigating the complicated terrain of race in America, from acclaimed writers like Toni Morrison, E. L. Doctorow, Sandra Cisneros, Sherman Alexie, and Amy Tan.
The editors who brought us Unsettling America and Identity Lessons have compiled a short-story anthology that focuses on themes of racial and ethnic assimilation. With humor, passion, and grace, the contributors lay bare poignant attempts at conformity and the alienation sometimes experienced by ethnic Americans. But they also tell of the strength gained through the preservation of their communities and the realization that it was often their difference from the norm that helped them to succeed.
In pieces suggesting that American identity is far from settled, these writers illustrate the diversity that is the source of both the nation's great discord and infinite promise.
"These beautiful stories radiate with the poignant, ingenious ways young people come to terms with their ethnic identities, negotiating their families, school, friends and their futures.... This exemplary collection fulfills the editors' aims: to open dialogue and encourage the telling of difficult, adaptive or affirming life experiences." (Publishers Weekly)
