Somewhere We Are Human: Authentic Voices on Migration, Survival, and New Beginnings
Reyna Grande (Author) Sonia Guiñansaca (Author) Viet Thanh Nguyen (Foreword by)
“In the overheated debate about immigration, we often lose sight of the humanity at the heart of this complex issue. The immigrants and refugees living precariously in the United States are mothers and fathers, children, neighbors, and friends. Individuals propelled by hope and fear, they gamble their lives on the promise of America, yet their voices are rarely heard.
This anthology of essays, poetry, and art seeks to shift the immigration debate–now shaped by rancorous stereotypes and xenophobia–towards one rooted in humanity and justice.”
