Review

4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. A compelling testimony of true-life storiesBy Midwest Book ReviewHistorian Stephen Garr Ostrander and museum curator Martha Aladjem Bloomfield present The Sweetness of Freedom: Stories of Immigrants; an anthology of firsthand testimonies of adapting to life in America by immigrants hailing from all over the world. People from Finland; the Netherlands; Korea; Iraq; Lebanon; Tanzania and more tell their stories - some of escaping from persecution; some of the drive to find the American dream; and some of just struggling to get by day by day. A handful of black-and-white photographs illustrates this compelling testimony of true-life stories; sure to engage and enrich readers of all backgrounds as well as offer an invaluable primary source to historians.
