“Connecting Flight”

Kara Carmosino was awarded the Shansi prize in 2008 for her creative non-fiction essay exploring complex racial and cultural issues. “Connecting Flight” examines the liminal spaces of an adoptee and the hyphenated cultural, ethnic, and racial identity that identify so many in a multivalent society. Kara’s essay was nominated for the Shansi Prize by Sylvia Watanabe.
