商品描述内容简介Is it possible to enter into a new place without surrendering your old self and all that defines it? Having immigrated to the United States at all stages of life and from countries around the world, the women in this extraordinary collection explore this question of definition and language: the language of longing, of romance, of estrangement. Containing additional essays since it was first published in 2000 asBecoming American,American Womanholds a renewed urgency after a long decade of walls and wars, and speaks to all our engaged citizenry with quiet wisdom.
"This is a book that creates a community of shared experiences among all of us who have come from somewhere else. . . . The insights, anecdotes, stories will make any reader who has ever felt out of place feel that a deeper bond unites us all, no matter where we are from. [A] funny, heart-touching, important book."--Julia Alvarez, author of How the Garcia Girls Lost Their Accents
