Children of Immigrants Struggle to Assimilate,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Aphrodite : Becoming Female in Greek America (Paperback)
This is a wonderful book for help in finding the origin of the female immigrant identity crisis - especially the greek female. Others will equally benefit from it as it explains the struggle to assimilate into a modern culture yet retain old customs and traditions. Some of the aspects it captures is the struggle for independence; yet maintaing the dutiful daughter personna; the struggle to excel academically and professionally; yet never be threatening to a man. It's a wonderful book for the female struggling with these issues and those who love and care about this person.

5.0 out of 5 stars
all European ethnics living USA can relate,
By "dmwart13" (Buffalo, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Aphrodite : Becoming Female in Greek America (Paperback)
This topic is a revelation in that it comforts because it is so true that all groups have experienced the same---but because they are relatively closed to non-members, the outsiders didn't know it. From Greeks to Poles to Italians to you name it, we need more books like this from these those who lived it.
