Suketu Mehta writes an intimate look into the lives of immigrants and his own in This Land is Our Land: An Immigrant's Manifesto. The stories range from those in the United States and those who are struggling to find freedom from their oppressors. He tells the heartbreak of those whose dream is not to come to the United States, but to just survive. I think some of the most heartbreaking tales are the ones who were happy with their lives and were living their dreams only to become victims to others and have to lose their dream to come to the horror that is America. For some the United States is the ultimate dream and to others it is the dream they sell to their families while they struggle to just survive here. They are not people described on the news or out of some politicians' mouths - they just want to go back to living or to find a life worth living if not for them then for their children. This is a book that everyone should read, discuss, and share.
I received this book free in a Goodreads Giveaway and give my opinion without prejudice and freely.
