Description



About the Book



This wonderful anthology recreates the past from the voices of those who struggled to adapt to the "new world". Facing such adversity as assimilation, prejudice, poverty, homesickness, and identity, these newcomers were able to persevere and their inspiring stories are full of hope, faith, and conviction. Gathering together narratives from the 18th to the 20th century, this one-of-a-kind collection provides both a historical and uniquely personal perspective on the struggles and successes of immigrants--and illuminates for readers the difficult, rewarding experience of becoming an American.



Book Synopsis



With narratives from the eighteenth to the twentieth century, this anthology provides a historical and uniquely personal perspective on the immigrant experience and illuminates the often difficult dream of becoming an American citizen.

From Hector St. John de Crèvecoeur's defining statement of Americanism to Harlem Renaissance figure Claude McKay's observations on race, here are both rousing and heartbreaking impressions of those who departed from their homlands in the hopes of making a new life. Reconciling their old traditions with their new land, these immigrants faced such adversity as assimilation, prejudice, poverty, homesickness, and identity.

Filled with inspiring stories of immigrants who traveled from Mexico, India, China, Korea, Syria, and beyond, Immigrant Voices reveals--in their own words--how these newcomers were able to persevere and make their mark on the "New World."
