READINGS & PANEL DISCUSSION
with Contributors Azadeh Shahshahani, Amita Rao, Clementina Editors Heather Tosteson and Charles Brockett
In this anthology, women from Australia, Bulgaria, China, Croatia, Cuba,
England, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, India, Iran, Ireland, Israel,
Italy, Mexico, Nicaragua, Serbia, Sierra Leone, Taiwan and Zambia
describe their unique journeys to naturalized citizenship as
adults—wondering what woman-hood, family, love, cultural identification,
intellectual curiosity, professional ambition, material need, war,
revolution or chance have to do with it. Their stories invite us all to
think more generously and intentionally about the invitations and
expec-tations inherent in citizenship—and our shared responsibility to
shape, nurture, and celebrate the constantly changing We in We, the
People.
