We Are Americans: Voices of the Immigrant Experience

Author: Dorothy and Thomas Hoobler

We Are Americans is an excellent resource for the classroom, presenting the history of American immigration chronologically, from the new theories of prehistoric immigration to the groups arriving in the present day. Using archival images, artifacts, data charts and personal narratives, the book explores the factors responsible for immigration, the aspirations of immigrants, adjustments to a new culture, and contributions these new Americans have made to our nation. While they learn about the groups and individuals from every culture and continent that have formed our country, students will find connections to their own immigration history. This well-researched and well-produced book offers a detailed index and a further reading list.
