I used this book and loved it
My husband and I were traveling by motorhome through the Southwest this winter. I bought this guide and it made our trip to New Mexico so much more meaningful. It provides exactly the kind of cultural and historical context I like to have in a very user friendly format. I have used other guides including Insight, Smithsonian, Mobil, etc. If the others in the series are as well done, this will be my guide of choice. It also has beautiful photos and helpful maps.

There's a much newer edition!
Hey amazon! There's a new edition of this book (actually there have been 2.....) The newest comes out in February, with completely updated info and pictures. You should order it!

Find out about this multi-talented artist.
I found this at a booksale for 99 cents! (Sorry Amazon!) Faith Ringgold is about even more than Tar Beach. I found it a real inspiration for my niece, who is also artistically inclined. She remarked on the wide array of media Ms. Ringgold works with, and the 'journey' that brought her to children's books. I guess I should have suggested that SHE write this review...

Wonderful insight
into the world and life of artist Faith Ringgold. A must-have for lovers of Tar Beach.

The best book you will ever read!
I am 13 years old. I just finished reading Mrs. Mike. My mother found the book at our public library and told me I should read it. I didn't bother to find out what it was about. You know how people always tell you not to judge a book by it's cover? That is exactly what I did. Since it was old and worn I expected it to be a book that I wouldn't find interesting, or very good. I was SO wrong! I have read many books and this is the VERY BEST book I have ever read. My mother told me that the book has stuck with her ever since she read it! I can see why. I couldn't stop reading it! It is a very well written book telling about a young Boston Girl, Katherine Mary O'Fallon and Sergent Mike Flannigan, a Canadian Mountie, who fall in love and start a new life in the Canadian Wilderness. There life is full of love, hardships, and friends you will never forget. I recemmend this book to anyone who can sit still long enough to read it!!

Reminding us of cherished values of another era ...
Mrs. Mike is a surprisingly contemporary story whose main character is a strong female. I think it was written about 40 years ago, so parts of it are a bit dated (and perhaps politically incorrect by today's standards). However, it is a wonderful, tender love story set against the background of the extreme and brutal climate and geography of the Canadian northwest. It is the story of a young Irish girl from Boston who falls in love with a Royal Canadian Mounted Policeman. The young husband, a strong male character, adores his wife and treats her accordingly. The book also depicts Indians (now called First Nation people in Candada) in a wonderful fashion, as well as strong and deep friendships among the women. This book should be required reading for young people, especially in a time when bonds between people are easily shattered and hardship is looked on as something to be avoided at all cost. Our book group loved it and read it based upon the memory of one of our members who read it as a very young woman and always treasured it in her heart.

An old favorite with a new meaning
This book is my all-time favorite. I first read it as a teenager, and recently found a copy at [local book review] after many years of thinking I'd never see the book again! It is an uncomplicated story of love and life in the early 20th Century in the Northwest Territory. As a young girl, the places referred to in the book were just names. Now they are real.

My daughter moved to Saskatoon, Saskatchuwan last year. She is married and has a baby boy. When re-reading Mrs. Mike last night, the first city mentioned was Regina, SK. I've been there on the way to Saskatoon! Edmonton is not far from Saskatoon, either.

I've always loved this book's simple love story, but did not remember that the part of Canada the story was set in was where my daughter actually lives. It seems that my daughter and Katherine Mary have a lot in common!

Saskatchuwan is beautiful! I did not have the opportunity to visit the Northwest Territory, but through Mrs. Mike, I feel as if I have already been there!

I am so grateful that the authors chose to re-release this book, and am waiting anxiously for the sequel, The Search for Joyful!

From refugees to immigrants
The beginning of the book focuses on the context of sudden immigration in 1975 as refugees sought to flee from Vietnam. Then it discusses following waves of immigration and the differences between those who came to America right after the war, and those who came later, the differences in the policies facing them, as well as attitudes towards them. The next three chapters discuss Vietnamese immigrants' experiences and attitudes on employment, education, and families. James Freeman speaks of the immigrant group as a whole, but also tries to illuminate individual idiosyncrasies in these matters through various interviews and accounts.

I was expecting a dry anthropological study, but instead found that CHANGING IDENTITIES was quite interesting and very informative. It deals with Vietnamese in America, how and why many of them came here, and their varied experiences in this country. It is easy for a book like this to make strange generalizations that would, to a Vietnamese American, ring untrue. And this book may make some such claims (I wouldn't know). But James Freeman makes an effort in describing the commonalities within Vietnamese communities to emphasize also the plurality of experiences among the group.
