像我这样的美国人:不同文化间生活的反思(2018
由St . College校友关系高级总监Katty Petak领导的讨论. Mary
这是一本充满活力和多样性的书，由杰出人物以第一人称讲述了在不同文化之间成长的经历
American Ferrera has always felt wholly American, and yet, 她的身份与她父母的祖国和洪都拉斯文化有着千丝万缕的联系. Speaking Spanish at home, 周六早上在厨房举行萨尔萨舞派对，圣诞节吃玉米粉蒸肉和苹果派，这似乎从未与她的美国身份发生冲突.
In American Like Me, America invites 31 of her friends, 同辈和英雄们分享不同文化之间的生活故事. 我们知道他们是演员、喜剧演员、运动员、政治家、艺术家和作家. However they are also immigrants, children or grandchildren of immigrants, 土著人或在成长过程中与不止一种文化有着深厚的个人联系的人. 每个人都在努力建立自我意识，找到归属感和被看到的感觉. 他们热情地、勉强地或根本不称自己为美国人.

再看一遍丽贝卡·霍尔的《OPE电子竞技官网》
在中部航道期间，女战士策划并领导了奴隶船上的叛乱. They fought their enslavers throughout the Americas. And then they were erased from history.
Wake tells the “riveting” (Angela Y. Davis) story of Dr. 丽贝卡·霍尔，历史学家，奴隶的孙女，一个被奴隶制遗留问题困扰的女人. 公认的奴隶起义历史总是告诉她，被奴役的妇女处于次要地位. But Rebecca decides to look deeper, and her journey takes her through old court records, slave ship captain’s logs, crumbling correspondence, 甚至还有从曼哈顿“黑人墓地”发现的被奴役妇女的骨头中提取的法医证据. She finds women warriors everywhere.
Using a “remarkable blend of passion and fact, action and reflection” (NPR), Rebecca constructs the likely pasts of Adono and Alele, women rebels who fought for freedom during the Middle Passage, 以及在纽约殖民时期领导奴隶起义的女性的故事. 我们也跟随丽贝卡自己的故事，因为奴隶制的遗产塑造了她的生活, 无论是作为一名成功的律师，还是后来成为一名历史学家，寻找困扰她的过去.
