4.0 out of 5 stars Great book; interviews better than most 1st hand accounts, May 22, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: First Generation: In the Words of Twentieth-Century American Immigrants (Paperback)

Excellent volume; really appreciate the focus Namais's questioning gives the interviewees in their accounts. Unlike most historical resources in that we have a virtual guided tour comparing and contrasting the different experiences. Great!
