4.0
As the child of immigrants, the immigrant experience is one that has ceaselessly fascinated me. It is uncanny how similar the experiences are of first- and second-generation immigrants, regardless of the country of origin. Assimilating into a new culture and looking for a sense of belonging are common struggles that permeate many immigrant stories.
This collection of essays by a variety of writers captures the heart of the immigrant experience. The stories span immigration of all types, from East to West, West to East, and even into neighboring countries.
Although each writer has his/her own distinct style, these stories are articulate and skillfully done. There were quite a few that resonated deeply with me, while others seemed more disjointed. I have no doubt this collection is one that will speak to a lot of people.
