像我一样的美国人: Reflections of Life Between Cultures (2018) by America Ferrera
Discussion led by Katty Petak, Senior Director, Alumnae Relations, College of St. 玛丽
A vibrant and varied collection of first-person accounts from prominent figures about the experience of growing up between cultures
美国人费雷拉一直觉得自己完全是美国人, 然而,, her identity is inextricably linked to her parents’ homeland and Honduran culture. 在家说西班牙语, having Saturday-morning-salsa-dance-parties in the kitchen and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity.
像我这样的美国人, 美国邀请了她的31个朋友, peers and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures. We know them as actors, comedians, athletes, politicians, artists and writers. 然而，他们也是移民, 移民的子女或孙辈, indigenous people or people who otherwise grew up with deep and personal connections to more than one culture. Each struggles to establish a sense of self, find belonging and feel seen. And they call themselves American enthusiastically, reluctantly or not at all.

一个最宽容的小镇
Rachel Martin volunteered with a Southern oral history project, 被送到田纳西州的一个小镇, where locals wanted to build a museum to commemorate the events of Sept. 1956, when Clinton High School became the first school in the former Confederacy to undergo court-mandated desegregation. 她发现社区里的很多人都不愿意说话, stating “there was a lot of ugliness down at the school that year; best we just move on and forget it”
Years later she goes back to learn what white residents of Clinton didn’t want remembered. 她采访了60多个镇上的人, including a dozen of the first students to desegregate Clinton High. She weaves together over a dozen perspectives in a kaleidoscopic portrait of a small town living through a tumultuous turning point for America.

Women warriors planned and led revolts on slave ships during the Middle Passage. 他们在美洲各地与奴隶主作战. 然后他们就从历史中抹去了.
韦克讲述了“引人入胜”的故事(安吉拉Y. 戴维斯博士的故事. Rebecca Hall, a historian, granddaughter of slaves, and a woman haunted by the legacy of slavery. The accepted history of slave revolts has always told her that enslaved women took a back seat. 但丽贝卡决定深入调查, 她的旅程带她去看旧的法庭记录, 奴隶船船长的航海日志, 摇摇欲坠的信件, and even the forensic evidence from the bones of enslaved women from the “negro burying ground” uncovered in Manhattan. 她发现到处都是女战士.
用“激情和事实的完美结合”, 行动与反思”(美国国家公共电台), 丽贝卡构建了阿多诺和阿莱可能的过去, 在中部航道期间为自由而战的女性反叛分子, as well as the stories of women who led slave revolts in Colonial New York. We also follow Rebecca’s own story as the legacy of slavery shapes her life, both during her time as a successful attorney and later as a historian seeking the past that haunts her.
