Their meditations illuminate in an interesting way certain American values — freedom, diversity, democracy, in the context of individual development. Frequently, for this group of writers, the sense of home means an immigrant culture, with a parent or grandparent from another land; however, the central concept for many of these authors, no matter what their backgrounds, is "possibility," both in personal and creative terms. http://www.america.govhttp://america.amgovcms.iip/publications/books/writers_america/ejournal/december-2002_html_html Tue, 24 Jun 2008 08:25:04 -0400
