5.0 out of 5 stars
Bite-sized stories in the style of Studs Terkel,
By A Customer
This review is from: American Mosaic: The Immigrant Experience in the Words of Those Who Lived it (Pitts Series in Social and Labor History) (Paperback)
This is a great resource and a priceless record of the immigrant experience in America. Morrison and Zabusky collected stories in people's own words and sets them down here, so we can all see first-hand just how the USA came to be such a melting pot. Stories of hardship and pride leap off the page. A terrific book to wave in the face of people who don't seem to remember that we were all immigrants at one point or another

A priceless compilation of History for ANY reader,
By Chana Wilson (Beaumont, Texas) - See all my reviews
This review is from: American Mosaic: The Immigrant Experience in the Words of Those Who Lived it (Pitts Series in Social and Labor History) (Paperback)
Morrison and Zabusky have outdone themselves by gathering stories in immigrants own words and compiling them in this delightful book. It has been a long time since I've read any nonfiction, but because of this book and how well it captivated me, nonfiction is what I crave most. The stories are so detailed and I can honestly say that at times I actually felt the story-tellers pain. This should be required reading for all high school students. I am so glad I stumbled on to this gem!
