How My Family Lives in America Tapa dura - 1992
de Susan Kuklin; Susan Kuklin (Illustrator)
Sanu (mother born in Baltimore, father born in Senegal), Eric (mother born in New York City, father born in Puerto Rico), and April (both parents born in Taiwan) live in New York City. Their families live with one foot in America and one in another country. These first-person accounts illuminate the uniqueness of ethnic tradition and reveal how it is fostered and adapted within a family. Full-color photos.
Resumen
In How My Family Lives in America, author-photographer Susan Kuklin zeroes in on the source of cultural identity: the family. Meet:
Sanu, who is learning how to braid her hair and to cook the same African meal her father makes.
Eric, who loves to play baseball with his dad and to dance the merengue with his friends and family.
April, who works hard on her Chinese writing and tries to keep up with her family's challenging games.
Their stories emphasize the seemingly minor and everyday ways heritage is transmitted: stories, songs, games, language, special occasions. They show the importance of choice and adaptation in forging a cultural identity. And they provoke readers to examine their own families -- what makes them the same, what makes them distinct, and how this uniqueness is celebrated.
