Synopsis
Summary
In this collaboration, four authors explore where they each come from—literally and metaphorically—as well as what unites all of us as humans. Speaking from a diverse array of experiences, the contributors describe a range of topics, from historical events to personal memories. Together, the reflections in Where We Come From examine the many and complex meanings of history, family, and identity.
