New Kids in Town Oral Histories of Immigrant Teens - Softcover
Synopsis
Voices of a changing America. . . The are teen immigrants. Thousands of them enter America each year, sometimes illegally. They have escaped war poverty, and repression to carve out new lives in a new world. Here eleven of these young immigrants tell their stories in their own words. You'll meet Abdul from Afghanistan, who entered America in eighth grade not knowing a word of English. Now he wears stone-washed jeans and aviator glasses like other American kids, but keeps his Moslem faith. Xiaojun tells of her village from rural China, and her new home in New York's Chinatown. Von from Vietnam reveals how he and his father escaped from Saigon and traveled to safety with fifty others on a twelve-foot-long boat. If you, too, have immigrated to this country, you'll see something of yourself in these true stories. If you were born in America, you'll learn more about your classmates. No matter what your background, you'll get to know some courageous young people you'll never forget.
