We Are Americans: Voices Of The Immigrant Experience
Grade 5-9-This ambitious book covers the immigrant experience from prehistoric times to the present day, including the movement and establishment of various Native American communities. The Hooblers also do a thorough job of tracking waves of immigration to the United States from around the globe. They explore how the immigrants struggled in their new land, and how their hard work benefited the country as a whole. Personal stories, writings, and anecdotes appear in sidebars throughout and excellent-quality, black-and-white archival photos and reproductions highlight the text. This thoughtful, well-researched overview will be a solid addition to most collections and is most notable for the diverse array of voices that it contains.Carol Fazioli, formerly at The Brearley School, New York CityCopyright © Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
