Roots and Reflections


Book Description

Immigrants from South Asia first began settling in Washington and Oregon in the nineteenth century, but because of restrictions placed on Asian immigration to the United States in the early twentieth century, the vast majority have come to the region since World War II. Roots and Reflections uses oral history to show how South Asian immigrant experiences were shaped by the region and how they differed over time and across generations. It includes the stories of immigrants from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka who arrived from the end of World War II through the 1980s.

Reflections


Book Description

James Elliott Foster gives us over 100 poems and 40 illustrations to describe what he sees and how he feels about the world around him. "Reflections" is a very personal and very unique view of the world, but it also speaks to the human condition...a condition each of us shares with Mr. Foster. As Mr. Foster puts it, "While [each of us] will experience a different combination of moments, phases, and places, I'm hoping my poetry will have meaning to [everyone] - will trigger memories, of the moments, phases, and places that are special in [each reader's life]" Poetry Review
