In twenty stirring memoirs of childhoods spent packing, writings by both world-famous and first-time authors (many published here for the first time) make universal the story of growing up without the opportunity to ever feel rooted. Best-selling fiction and non-fiction authors Isabel Allende, Carlos Fuentes, Pat Conroy, Pico Iyer and Ariel Dorfman contribute powerful and deeply personal accounts of mobile childhoods and the cultural experiences they engender. The memoirs touch on both the benefits and the difficulties of growing up in the ever changing landscape of diplomatic, military and other expatriate communities. 823259 25 1 2004 Unrooted Childhoods: Memoirs of Growing Up Global (with contributions from Carlos Fuentes, Pat Conroy and Isabel Allende) total:4|5:1|4:2|3:1| 4 16 13 0 0 0 false false Sun Oct 25 21:38:03 -0700 2009 Sun Oct 25 21:38:03 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Mon Jul 06 13:33:16 -0700 2009 Fri Jun 12 07:18:38 -0700 2009 Mon Jul 06 13:33:16 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue May 26 15:37:59 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 15:37:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Mon May 18 18:30:44 -0700 2009 Mon May 18 18:30:44 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Feb 22 06:18:33 -0800 2009 Sun Feb 22 06:18:33 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Wed Dec 31 10:39:04 -0800 2008 Wed Dec 31 10:39:04 -0800 2008 0 0 false false Sat Dec 06 09:55:28 -0800 2008 Sat Dec 06 09:55:30 -0800 2008 4 0 false false Sat Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2005 Wed Oct 22 18:36:56 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 23 17:37:59 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Fri Sep 05 05:08:08 -0700 2008 Fri Sep 05 05:08:08 -0700 2008 5 0 false false Wed Jun 25 20:28:41 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 20:28:41 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Sun May 18 21:24:07 -0700 2008 Sun May 18 21:24:08 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Tue Apr 29 10:02:18 -0700 2008 Tue Apr 29 10:02:18 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Tue Aug 28 23:24:32 -0700 2007 Wed Aug 29 00:00:57 -0700 2007 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=837677
