From the Preface by Publisher FREDERICKA A. JACKS: "COMMON BOUNDARY
includes many varieties of immigration stories. A culture is a
country's language, its customs, and the collective thinking or
attitude of the people . . . The shifting attitude . . .
experienced over . . . English acquisition . . . represents a
paradox: on the one hand, there is an attempt to accommodate
someone from another country; on the other hand, the immigrant
person is always perceived as something foreign. There's a common
boundary - being part of and yet being apart from others." From the
Foreword by JASON DUBOW: ." . . this book is really an anthology of
anthologies: a collection of stories in which the old inextricably
blends with the new, in which the tensions between what has been
lost and what can be gained are grappled with (but, inevitably, not
resolved), and in which the human capacity to imagine a future and
make it real (more or less) is explored from a variety of different
perspectives. Here's the essential question: now that I am no
longer there but here, Who am I? The answers, the stories -
various, contingent, authentic - have made me, in a Whitman-esque
sense, 'larger, ' and they will you too. And so, when you're done
reading, ask yourself: Who now am I?" COMMON BOUNDARY, list of
