Recenzii
Praise for the first edition: Silver Award (Anthologies), ForeWord Magazine Book of the Year Awards “A moving and important anthology. . . . An invaluable resource and a solid compendium. . . . Highly recommended.” —Library Journal “Starred Review” “A timely and moving collection . . . [that] underlines the similarities between recent immigrants and their American neighbors, thus emphasizing all that we have in common beneath the veneer of culture.” —Booklist “Admirable in their own right, these stories are also ‘testaments to the humanity of a heterogeneous and complex group of people’ whose work deserves both recognition and celebration.” —MELUS Magazine
