reviewed New Immigrants, Changing Communities: Best Practices for a Better America on February 01, 2015 New Immigrants, Changing Communities
This is a good collection of essays on bicultural identities in the United States written by an impressive list of female intellectuals, writers, artists, and I believe there was one teacher in there. Yeah for teachers! Sometimes the writing was not top-notch, but the conversations that these women are having with themselves and with their readers are extremely important and raise essential questions about culture, identity, and what it means to be "American." In any collection of essays or stories, some are going to stand out more than others. My personal favorites were the essays by Lan Tran, Emiene Shija Wright, Laura Fokkena, and Melissa Secola. Personally, I am so happy that this book exists, and I applaud Angela Jane Fountas (the editor and one of the writers) for putting it together. I look forward to using these stories in my future high school literature and ESOL classes.
