Waking Up American includes original work by women who are either American-born of at least one foreign-born parent or who immigrated to the United States during childhood.
The writers explore what it means to feel caught between two worlds--neither wholly American nor wholly a part of another heritage.
Cultures represented include the Philippines, Germany, India, Mexico, China, Iran, Nicaragua, Japan, Russia, and Panama, among others, and are often juxtaposed with a bicultural rea.
