Booklist Editor's Choice/Best of 1994.
"
...recommended." - Video Librarian
"Technically excellent, these videos are smoothly edited to combine a nice mix of historical stills and film footage...This excellent series will be of general interest, as well as an effective teaching tool for multicultural studies, contemporary issues, and American history." - School Library Journal
"Gr. 4-10. Rich in attractively presented archival visuals, informatively structured by maps and voice-over, and personalized by family interviews, this enlightening, 15-title series introduces various ethnic groups in the U.S. While each group's distinctive history and cultural traditions are heralded, the programs also reveal the conditions of their arrival (as in the Chinese laborers), their economic fortunes, their quest for assimilation as well as expression of their heritage (a Greek Orthodox festival)...these are excellent resources for multicultural education." - Booklist
