An Immigrant Class
Oral Histories from Chicago’s Newest Immigrants
My first book, An Immigrant Class: Oral Histories from Chicago’s Newest Immigrants, is a collection of first-person oral histories and photographs that chronicles the lives of a diverse group of twenty Chicago immigrants, all former students of mine at Truman College. You can read a sample chapter as well as the Forward and Introduction here. Visit the website for more information including how to purchase the book.
