Review
Memories of Carolinian Immigrants: Autobiographies, Diaries, and Letters from Colonial Times to the Present includes valuable accounts of a significant population in America's history.... Insightful collection of immigrant storiesssss (Catherine Loiacano North Carolina Historical Review, April 2010 )
Lixl provides an excellent introduction, explaining the book's intended purpose. His stated aim is to "historicize and personalize our understanding of the immigrant experience (p.xix)" and, in so doing, add to readers' awareness of the importance of immigrant influences on life in and the culture of the two Carolinas. His attempt is successful, and the book is a worthy addition to cultural and oral history collections. Recommended. (Choice, March 2010 )

This is an interesting and important book about identity and remembrance. The anthology is well researched and edited. The book presents personal narratives and historical photographs that illuminate the diversity of immigrant experiences in North and South Carolina since 1700. The broad focus of the book encompasses all walks of life and documents three centuries of social, political, artistic, and cultural history. The chapters follow historical timelines starting with colonial experiences leading up to the American Revolution, followed 10 pages of autobiographical texts. The common denominators of the selected memories, diaries, and letters hinge on the confluence of American patriotism and immigrant pride, coupled with old world loyalties and new world ambitions that reflect the demographic shift from European to Asian and Hispanic immigrants in the American Southeast. This book is well suited for classroom studies as well as for all audiences and readers interested in memoir literature.
