Becoming Americans
NOVEMBER 24, 2009 TUESDAY AT 3PM CT

 
 
The story of American immigration has often been told by those already here. Becoming Americans, the new anthology edited by Mexican-American Jewish writer Ilan Stavans tells it from the inside, gathering four centuries of writing from 17th century Jamestown to contemporary Brooklyn and Los Angeles.

  • Richard Rodriguez, editor at New America Media in San Francisco
