A multicultural array of poets explore what it is means to be American This powerful and moving collection of poems stretches across the boundaries of skin color, language, ethnicity, and religion to give voice to the lives and experiences of ethnic Americans. With extraordinary honesty, dignity, and insight, these poems address common themes of assimilation, communication, and self-perception. In recording everyday life in our many American cultures, they displace the myths and stereotypes that pervade our culture.Unsettling America includes work by: Amiri BarakaChitra Banerjee DivakaruniRita DoveLouise ErdichJessica HagedornJoy HarjoGarrett HongoLi-Young LeePat MoraNaomi Shihab NyeMarye PercyIshmael ReedAlberto RiosNtozake ShangeGary SotoLawrence FerlinghettiNellie WongDavid HernandezMary TallMountain ...and many more.
