Upon its first publication, A Different Mirror was hailed by critics and academics everywhere as a dramatic new retelling of our nation's past. Beginning with the colonization of the New World, it recounts the history of America in the voice of the non-Anglo peoples of the United States---Native Americans, African Americans, Jews, Irish Americans, Asian Americans, Latinos, and others---groups who helped create this country's rich mosaic culture.

A Different Mirror for Young People brings ethnic history alive through the words of people, including teenagers, who recorded their experiences in letters, diaries, and poems. Like Howard Zinn's A People's History, Takaki's A Different Mirror offers a rich and rewarding "people's view" perspective on the American story.

Could you call Your Life thus far, interesting and/or exciting? Usually, we see others who are famous living interesting and exciting lives, and ours are just mundane.

Every age, decade, person met and experience molds and shares who we become. These are life's treasures and our Legacy to leave of our life and existence. I hope my sharing can inspire you to see Your Self with new eyes. I invite you to join me!
