New Americans : an oral history : immigrants and refugees in the U.S. today / Al Santoli. - New York, N.Y. : Viking, 1988 - xviii, 392 p. : ill. 24 cm.
Santoli is the author of two notable oral history collections on the Vietnam War, Everything We Had and To Bear Any Burden. Here, in 18 narratives, he covers the whole spectrum of new immigrants: from Poland, the Soviet Union, Southeast Asia, Mexico, the Philippines, etc. Santoli has interviewed these immigrants and gives them the chance to tell their individual stories. It is their highly personal nature that makes these oral histories at once both particular and recognizable to the rest of us. The United States has been transformed by this latest wave of immigration. One could do no better than to read this book to gain insight into those who will be the foundation of the new America.
