A Korean street child is adopted into an upper-middle-class suburban home. a Vietnamese monk dishes up fast food to fund a spiritual center. a woman saves for a home back in Ghana where she will never live. All are immigrants to the United States, known to most of their fellow Americans only as statistics. The stories that statistics can't tell unfold in this book, in which twenty-three recent immigrants recall navigating the paradoxes, pitfalls, and triumphs of ecoming Americans. Candid, evocative, and richly detailed, their oral histories comprise a comelling portrait of the changing face of the American population. |
