Bringing together beautiful writing from celebrated authors such as Sandra Cisneros, Jamaica Kincaid, Maxine Hong Kingston, and Chang-Rae Lee, \u003cem\u003eCrossing into America\u003c\/em\u003e fills the literary void in public discussion about immigration. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSince the immigration reforms of 1965 removed many of the racial barriers in American immigration laws, a new wave of immigrants has visibly transformed a society that has long prided itself on being a nation of immigrants. \u003cem\u003eCrossing into America\u003c\/em\u003e includes stories and memoirs of writers born in Mexico, Kashmir, the Philippines, South Africa, and Romania, as well as poignant reflections on the immigrant experience by the children of immigrants. This book follows these newest arrivals--from their home countries through their engagement with America--and also includes an accessible history of immigration policy, cartoons, and newspaper stories, and a section of conversations with activists, journalists, and scholars working in the front lines of our immigration battles. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Louis Mendoza\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1565848950\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781565848955\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e New Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/06\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.88h x 6.62w x 1.15d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKliatt\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2005 pg. 27","brand":"Louis Mendoza","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056538415359,"sku":"9781565848955","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0021ba7e-ec88-4a53-9473-d6eca414a876.jpg?v=1685041864","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/crossing-into-america-louis-mendoza-9781565848955","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
