The collection has been organized to give readers a feel for the geographical, ethnic, and cultural multiplicities of which the country is composed. A short INTRODUCTION to each section places the stories in a context that will be further expanded by the CULTURAL NOTES that accompany each selection. To'plam o'quvchilarga mamlakatning jug'rofiy, etnik va madaniy xilma-xilligini his qilish uchun tashkil etilgan. Har bir bo'limga qisqacha KIRISH hikoyalarni har bir tanlovga hamroh bo'ladigan MADANIY QAYDLAR tomonidan kengaytiriladigan kontekstga joylashtiradi.
