Andrei Codrescu to be Honored with American Heritage Award
The American Immigration Council has announced that we will honor Andrei Codrescu at the American Heritage Awards next month in New Orleans.
Codrescu is a Jewish, Romanian-American, homme–de-lettres who became nationally recognized through his many years of thoughtful commentary on National Public Radio.
Condrescu was raised in Romania. He escaped as a young man to Israel, and then landed in the United States in the late 1960s. Codrescu was the Mac Curdy Distinguished Professor of English at Louisiana State University from 1984 until his retirement in 2009 and still considers New Orleans his “home turf.”
