Filtered through the lens of our leading oral historian, the chorus of voices in \u003cem\u003eAmerican Dreams\u003c\/em\u003e highlights the hopes and struggles of coming to and living in the United States. Originally published in 1980, this is a classic work of oral history that provides an extraordinary and moving picture of everyday American lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStuds Terkel (1912-2008) was an award-winning author and radio broadcaster.
