Book
Accession No.

June Namias's book is a collection of oral histories dealing with the American immigrant experience. Namias claims their work is the first collection to appear that approaches the topic from a multi-ethnic approach. The author provides the stories of thirty-one immigrants that arrive in the U.S. from 1900 into the 1970s. Namias claims that this "began as a personal quest." The author wrote this book out of a need to understand their own family and first-generation. The first chapter is dedicated to the author's Jewish grandmother, Minnie Kasser Needle. The oral histories tell the stories of immigrants from various countries and backgrounds—Irish, Greek, Russian, Polish, Catholic, Japanese, Filipino, Armenia, Spain, Italy, German Jewish, Hungary, Cuba, Azores, Mexican, Indian, Trinidad, Korea, and Vietnam.
