Requests:  0 Summary:  "Into the maelstrom of unprecedented contemporary debates about immigrants in the United States, this perfectly timed book gives us a portrait of what the new immigrant experience in America is really like. Written as a "guide" for the newly arrived, and providing "practical information and advice," Roya Hakakian, an immigrant herself, reveals what those who settle here love about the country, what they miss about their homes, the cruelty of some Americans, and the unceasing generosity of others. She captures the texture of life in a new place in all its complexity, laying bare both its beauty and its darkness as she discusses race, sex, love, death, consumerism, and what it is like to be from a country that is in America's crosshairs. Her tenderly perceptive and surprisingly humorous account invites us to see ourselves as we appear to others, making it possible for us to rediscover our many American gifts through the perspective of the outsider."--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 646.70086 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 646.70086 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 646.70086 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 325.7 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Naalehu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 646.70086 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList Wailuku Public Library Adult Nonfiction 646.70086 Ha Checked In Add Copy to MyList
