2009 Reading #23: Children of Rondo
Books 1-10.
Books 11-20.
21. Hmong and American: Stories of Transition to a Strange Land by Sue Murphy Mote.
22. Meet Me In the Moon Room by Ray Vukcevich.
23. Children of Rondo: Transcriptions of Rondo Oral History Interviews edited by Kimberly K. Zielinski. No link 'cause I can't find this out there; it's published by Hamline University Press and might not even be on sale anymore. Brief interviews with seven former residents of the Rondo neighborhood, which I've talked about before and just maybe this is all leading to something, DO YOU THINK? The book doesn't provide much in the way of background for this story, which makes me wonder what someone coming at this blind might think. The interviews are OK; a bit repetitive, and not very in-depth, but they paint a picture of the neighborhood that was lost.
