Fresh Take: Masha Rumer on Parenting As An Immigrant
Description
Masha Rumer is an award-winning journalist and immigrant from the former Soviet Union who is now raising two children in California. Her new book, PARENTING WITH AN ACCENT: HOW IMMIGRANTS HONOR THEIR HERITAGE, NAVIGATE SETBACKS, AND CHART NEW PATHS FOR THEIR CHILDREN, explores the complexities of multicultural parenting and identity.
In this episode, we discuss
- The experience of disidentifying with, and then seeking to reconnect with, the cultures from which we came
- What we get wrong about the history of immigration
- What it’s like to be “in America but not of it,” while parenting children for whom America feels like home
