Immigrant Voices: Twenty-four Narratives on Becoming an American (Signet Classic) by Gordon Hutner

gannent's review

3.0

As with any compilation kind of book, the sources used can be hit or miss. Some of them I really enjoyed, others not so much. It was a nice sort of light read as an introduction to the immigration narrative in American literature. I didn't really know it was such a big genre before reading this book, and now I have a jumping off point if I want to dig deeper into the subject. However, I don't think I would recommend it to anyone who seriously studies this sort of thing. It's just sort of an introduction for someone with a more casual interest.
