| Title | Suggestions for American Immigrant Literature, Part 2 |
| Body | Here are some more suggestions from TESL-L users for good literature about immigration to America or by immigrants: A book I'd recommend on the American immigrant experience is: Accidental Asian by Eric Liu. Another book that I recently read a review of, but haven't read that sounds interesting is: Stealing Buddha's Dinner by Bich Minh Nguyen. For non-fiction information on immigration I recommend: Legacies: The Story of the Immigrant Second Generation by Portes and Rumbaut as well as an earlier book of theirs: Immigrant America: A Portrait (2nd ed). Pruett-Said, T. [TESL-L] immigrant experience literature. Teachers of English as a Second Language List (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 11 May 2007). --- I scanned my library and found two wonderful choices: From a Town on the Hudson: A Japanese Woman's Life in America by Yuko Koyano The Mistress of Spices by Chita Banerjee Divakaruni The latter is published as a MacMillan ELT reader in abridged form. Anthohy, M. [TESL-L] Immigrant Writers/Literature. Teachers of English as a Second Language List (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 9 May 2007). --- Buying on Time by Anatas Siseika, a Lithuanian Canadian writing about immigrant life in Ontario in the 50s and 60s. Reynolds, B. Re: [TESL-L] Immigrant Writers/Literature. Teachers of English as a Second Language List (TESL-L@LISTSERV.CUNY.EDU, 10 May 2007). |
