The United States and Canada accept more immigrants today than since the early 1900s. Several million tourists, temporary workers, asylum seekers, refugees and permanent residents come to North America each year. America's 'melting pot' and Canada's 'mosaic', once almost entirely European, now include people from every corner of the planet. People move to North America for freedom, safety and opportunity, while appreciating the unique blend of living space, political stability and high standard of living.

Transatlantic Voices is the first collection of critical essays by European scholars on contemporary Native North American literatures. Devoted to the primary genres of Native literature—fiction, nonfiction, drama, poetry—the essays chart the course of recent theories of Native literature, delineate the crosscurrents in the history of Native literature studies, and probe specific themes of trauma and memory as well as changing mythologies. These essays also incorporate incipient transnational and transcultural methodologies in their approach to Native North American writing.
