Reseña del libro "The WASPs (en Inglés)"
Why is it necessary to lie about your family background? To deny your race, ethnic and cultural identity? How can a society ring true if its members are false to their core values and origin? American immigrants, from the 1600's to the present, have been forced to do just that to survive and thrive.It is called Assimilation - the good and the bad of it. Opportunities gained traded for identities lost. The 20th century Era of Assimilation is the story of The WASPs.In Book 3 of The Hanscome Trilogy (based on the author's true family story and genealogy), matriarchal grandmother, Rhoda Hanscome Campbell, denies her mulatto past and becomes a White Anglo-Saxon Protestant (a WASP). What's the harm in claiming the highest rung on the Minneapolis social ladder? What's the harm in indoctrinating her family in her Be Ye Perfect philosophy?Why create an albatross when there is no need?Because that albatross is the truth.The Hanscome story was not a lie...but it was a sin of omission.PRAISE FOR THE WASPs: "The entire Hanscome Trilogy is phenomenal reading...a historical look, with so much heart, at where we've come from in the United States of America and what we've become because of the mistakes we've made. Will we ever learn from them and evolve into a loving-kind people? That's the question..." --- D. D. Scott, International Bestselling AuthorABOUT THE AUTHOR: Joan Dickinson has worn many hats - history teacher, psychologist, professor, behavioral health director and international consultant, wellness columnist, public speaker, yoga and meditation instructor. She hails from Minnesota and kayaks with the dolphins near Anna Maria Island, Florida.
