Thirty-six writers of diverse racial and cultural backgrounds
explore the specific tensions of being American with roots in
another culture and also address historical moments which have
defined American life during this century the battle at Wounded
Knee, the Second World War, the civil rights movement, and the
Vietnam War, among them. Powerful, first-person accounts, they
follow different paths. But each one is driven by the deep need to
bear witness and to bring coherence to personal and collective
experience. The contributors are: James Baldwin, Wendell Berry,
Carlos Bulosan, Judith Ortiz Cofer, Joan Didion, W. E. B. Du Bois,
Charles Alexander Eastman, Gretel Ehrlich, James Farmer, F. Scott
Fitzgerald, Mary Gordon, Vivian Gornick, Jessica Hagedon, Barbara

Momaday, Bharati Mukherjee, Geoffrey O'Brien, Gregory Orfalea,
Sonia Pilcer, Mario Puzo, Jonathan Raban, Adrienne Rich, Richard
Rodriguez, Anton Shammas, Monica Stone, Gary Soto, Michael
