Speaking Spanish at home, having Saturday-morning -salsa-dance-parties in the kitchen, and eating tamales alongside apple pie at Christmas never seemed at odds with her American identity. Still, she yearned to see that identity reflected in the larger American narrative. Now, in American Like Me, America invites thirty-one of her friends, peers, and heroes to share their stories about life between cultures. We know them as actors, comedians, athletes, politicians, artists, and writers. However, they are also immigrants, children or grandchildren of immigrants, indigenous people, or people who otherwise grew up with deep and personal connections to more than one culture. Each of them struggled to establish a sense of self, find belonging, and feel seen. And they call themselves American enthusiastically, reluctantly, or not at all. Ranging from the heartfelt to the hilarious, their stories shine a light on a quintessentially American experience and will appeal to anyone with a complicated relationship to family, culture, and growing up. 538 Requires OverDrive Listen (file size: N/A KB) or OverDrive app (file size: 268724 KB). 650 7 Biography & Autobiography.|2OverDrive 650 7 Essays.|2OverDrive 650 7 Sociology.|2OverDrive 650 17 Nonfiction.|2OverDrive 655 7 Electronic books.|2local 700 1 Kim, Eugene. 914 ODN0003877428
