Interesting Web site: The Independent Television Service (ITVS) has produced an enormously interesting and timely mini-series now screening on PBS called "The New Americans." The series follows the stories of immigrants from the Dominican Republic, Nigeria, the West Bank of Palestine, Mexico and India as they try to come to grips with the realities of living in the United States. It is compulsive viewing that will broaden and enrich your appreciation for the struggle that many immigrants undergo to follow their dreams to America.

The official web site for the series is well-designed and full of educational activites, guides, and other materials that will help people to start wrestling with the problems and challenges of immigrants in their own communities. The 'Resources for Further Research' will help focus attention on various aspects of the immigrant experience and is highly recommended!
