JACK DOPPELT: False papers mean not wanting to say you’re illegal

Current Writers>>>>

Svati returns the favor years later
My mother and I break a Chinese taboo and emerge with unconditional love
The life of a refugee is nothing like my life
A snip, snip, here and some family history there
I realize what it means to choose citizenship – US or Korean
Grandfather Gaioni’s love for cooking and food are the ties to Italy that bind
Savta shows me that tradition doesn’t stagnate
My mother lived like an Ethiopian princess and left it all behind
Ignorance or innocence? The dragons of South Africa are the real Africa to me
Inspiration for death can be a Chamorro woman’s expression of life fully lived

 Former Writers>>>>

Gabrielle Rabon – It can be suffocating in the land of opportunity
Nathan Ansell – I get a hint of my British-Jewish heritage
Hannah Gonzalez – I’ve got a golden ticket… but I don’t need it
Sophie Kobylinski – Will Iranian roots survive another generation?
Lucio Vainesman – My papa may not tell me much about his Argentine youth, but there’s always football
