Growing up ethnic in America
contemporary fiction about learning to be American
by Maria M. Gillan and Jennifer Gillan
"The stories in Growing Up Ethnic in America depict a variety of experiences, including poignant but failed attempts at conformity and the alienation often felt by ethnic Americans. But they also tell of the strength gained through the preservation of their communities, and the realization that it is often the difference from the norm that helps them to succeed.
In pieces that suggest that what constitutes American identity is far from settled, these writers testify to the profound effect ethnic differences have on personal and communal understandings of America, and illustrate the diversity that is the source of the nation's great discord and infinite promise."--BOOK JACKET.
