My American Dream by Julissa Arce

  Book Review of My American Dream by Julissa Arce 1. Describe in some detail the source: was it a work of fiction or is it a researched non-fiction historical monograph or is it a real person’s memoir? Who wrote it? What are some of the themes of the immigrant experience that the book you selected explores? 2. Compare Julissa's immigrant experience with a group’s immigrant experience that is written about in our textbook by Kristen Anderson, Immigration in American History (I have attached an excerpt from this textbook that can be used). 3. Explain what you learned from the account you read. How did it impact your understanding of the immigrant group’s [or individual immigrant’s] experience of life in the United States?
