I wish I could give half stars, some of the essays were 4, some were 3. Overall an interesting mix of voices and views from different writers with different backgrounds, mostly informed by the American context or in contrast to the American context. Most are very autobiographical, as if taking an essay to answer the question “where are you from?” or “What ARE you?” others musing on the hipness of being ‘mixed' in current media trends.
