A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki




by


In Ohio there is something called Program60 where people over aged 60 can audit college classes at no charge.  I have been auditing an online class once each year for the last three years.  This year I just completed a class offered by Ohio State University about immigration in the United States from the early 1600's to the present.   Our text book was A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki.  It is a fascinating look at all the different ethnic groups that have immigrated to the US over the centuries, their experiences and their contributions.   It was a very interesting read and not at all like reading a text book.  I highly recommend it.  Please click on the author's name and book title above for more information about the book.  And enjoy the video that follows.  It is a video that was shown at the author's funeral and is a tribute to his life.
