Book Reviews of Immigrant Voices: New Lives in America, 1773-1986
Book Review: U.S. immigrants ARE U.S. history
Summary: 5 Stars
Through primary source material from each American immigrant, Dublin presents a book that spans the American immigration experience from Revolutionary America to 1986. From a motley crew of different American immigrants, we see the drama and lives of different peoples who come to America to become Americans. We hear the voices of John Harrower, an indentured servant in Revolutionary America; the Seyyfardts, who migrate to 1850s Michigan; Rosa Cassettari, an early 20th century Italian immigrant who wants to go back home; and the Nguyens, Vietnamese War refugees granted a safe haven to live in America. These different stories all show us what type of people come to America, the reason why they come, and the reasons why they leave their original countries. It also gives insight into the reader's own personal identity, and what it means to be American. Dublin's book also presents the underlying, similar characteristics of all immigrants to America. Highly recommended.
