"A themed collection of stories of refugees from around the world who have converged on Minneapolis, collected and told by the award-winning author of The Latehomecomer and The Song Poet"-- Provided by publisher.
Although Minnesota is not famous for its diversity, the state has welcomed more refugees per capita than any other. Yang-- herself a Hmong refugee-- has gathered stories of the stateless who today call the Twin Cities home. In their retelling, these stories of refugee journeys restore history and humanity to America's strangers and redeem its long tradition of welcome. -- adapted from front flap |
