As textbooks are being written for the academic world, this book could serve as a guideline for future books written in this area of study. A composite of short stories and poetry representing work from a people who have a unique perspective on immigration and what it takes to endure the hardships they have encountered. I would recommend this book to anyone interested in literature or philosophy. It is unfortunate that it has gone out of print. This is more of an injustice to the academic world, to prevent a book of this caliber from the minds of future students. It was all our entire class could do just to get enough copies for us to read.
I agree with the previous reviewer and hope that the publisher is taking note. I have used this text in class and want to continue using it, but I am constrained by the fact that the bookstore on my campus cannot find copies to order. I hope the publisher will re-issue soon. The only complaint I have is that I would like to see more complete stories rather than excerpts or at least longer excerpts. However, the selections are nearly all excellent and there is a breadth of readings as well.
Found a better price. Mailed the book back and it took them a month to process my return.
