Dream of America:
Juvenile Nonfiction Books on the Immigrant Experience
All Americans, with the exception of Native American,
are descended from immigrants. The greatest number of immigrants
-- more than 34 million -- arrived in the United States during the
100 years preceding 1924, when new legislation closed the country's
relatively wide-open door.
The story of those years and those immigrants
is also the story of our country's growth.The story of immigration
is inseparable from this country's history
The books on this booklist were selected and compiled
by Laura Shomshak, Youth Services Librarian, Tacoma Public Library,
All titles are available
at the Tacoma Public Library (GO to TopCat - the Library Catalog).
Copies of this and other booklists about the immigrant experience
are available at your library. |
