After the Last Border is an intimate look at the lives of two women as they struggle for the twenty-first century American dream, having won the "golden ticket" to settle as refugees in Austin, Texas. Mu Naw, a Christian from Myanmar struggling to put down roots with her family, was accepted after decades in a refugee camp at a time when America was at its most open to displaced families; and Hasna, a Muslim from Syria, agrees to relocate as a last resort for the safety of her family--only to be cruelly separated from her children by a sudden ban on refugees from Muslim countries. Writer and activist Jessica Goudeau tracks the human impacts of America's ever-shifting refugee policy as both women narrowly escape from their home countries and begin the arduous but lifesaving process of resettling in Austin, Texas--a city that would show them the best and worst of what America has to offer. After the Last Border situates a dramatic, character-driven story within a larger history--the evolution of modern refugee resettlement in the United States, beginning with World War II and ending with current closed-door policies--revealing not just how America's changing attitudes toward refugees has influenced policies and laws, but also the profound effect on human lives"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 362.83981 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83981 Goudeau Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83981 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mountain View P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 362.83981 Go Checked In Add Copy to MyList
