In "Coming to America"The untold truth about living and working in America as an immigrant, award-winning author Muchina, says it's time that someone finally told the biter truth about what it's like to live and work in America as an immigrant. Over a million people migrate to the United States every single year. What most of them don't know is that life in America is completely different from the America they see in the News or movies or American TV shows. In "Coming To America" Muchina talks directly to new immigrants as well as those planning on migrating to the United States in the future. With well-researched statistics and figures, he details the income of an average immigrant as well as the true cost of living and the sacrifices required in order to have a decent life while supporting family back home. Close to a million immigrants become undocumented every year. Muchina dedicates a few chapters to speak to those that may end up overstaying their visas or falling out of "Status" for various reasons. The challenges faced by undocumented immigrants are many, but millions of them find ways to get jobs, buy cars, rent apartments and even start their own businesses. The question is "How do they do it?" Those answers plus alternative documents the government makes available for undocumented people to open bank accounts and pay taxes to states that offer driver's licenses to undocumented residents; all found within the pages of this book In the final chapters of the book, Muchina shares his story of how his obsession with the pursuit of the American dream cost him everything he owned and nearly destroyed his life in the process. He tells his compelling poignant story as a warning to others whose desire to make a lot of money may lead them down the wrong paths with dire consequences. Mostly, with his deep understanding of how the American system works, he brings the wisdom of knowing "What not to do" as well as what aspects of life one must protect in order to build a decent and fulfilling life in America. In his own words, Muchina says 'This book is everything I wish someone had told me when I first came to America" So, If you're planning to migrate to America, this book will help you answer some of the most important questions you may have such as What are the 5 top myths about America? What are the top 5 mistakes most immigrants make? Is “The American Dream” possible for an immigrant? What will your host expect of you when you get to America? Where should you settle in and why? How are you expected to behave in America? How is America different from where you’re coming from? What are you going to love about the country and its culture? Will you be able to get a job? What kind of documents will you need to get a job? Will you be able to get work documents if you have a non-immigrant visa? Will you be allowed and able to get work if you have a non-immigrant visa? What happens if you overstay your visa? What kind of job will you be able to get as an immigrant? How much are you likely to get paid for what job? How much will it cost you to live in America? How much does housing cost? What can you or can’t you do? What kind of bills will you have to pay? What kind of taxes will you have to pay? How much money will you be able to earn per month? How much will you be able to save per month? If you wanted to start a business; could you? What kind of rights will you have as an immigrant? How do undocumented immigrants get jobs? What kind of work do undocumented immigrants do? What jobs pay better than others for immigrants? What rights do immigrants have? Do undocumented immigrants have any rights? What’s a social security number and why does everyone need one? What if you can’t get a social security number because of your immigration status? How do you get a driver’s license? If you go out of status, will you be able to get a driver’s license? Where can you get a driver’s license if you overstay your visa? What can you expect from friends and relatives when you move to America? How should you deal with relatives back home? What’s a FICO credit score and how does it determine your success or failure? What mistakes are you likely to make that could ruin your life in America? Will your foreign university degree get you a job in the United States? In part 4, you'll hear the story of the author, an immigrant whose life was nearly destroyed in America due to the lack of information such as found in this book. In his pursuit of the American dream, he made all the wrong mistakes, just like so many immigrants and citizens make. He hopes to spare you from the same fate so you have a chance to succeed and get yourself a piece of the American Dream.

By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, troubling and uplifting, these "electric" essays come together to create a provocative, conversation-sparking, multivocal portrait of modern America (The Washington Post). From Trump's proposed border wall and travel ban to the marching of white supremacists in Charlottesville, America is consumed by tensions over immigration and the question of which bodies are welcome. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling UK edition, hailed by Zadie Smith as "lively and vital," editors Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman hand the microphone to an incredible range of writers whose humanity and right to be here is under attack. Chigozie Obioma unpacks an Igbo proverb that helped him navigate his journey to America from Nigeria. Jenny Zhang analyzes cultural appropriation in 90s fashion, recalling her own pain and confusion as a teenager trying to fit in. Fatimah Asghar describes the flood of memory and emotion triggered by an encounter with an Uber driver from Kashmir. Alexander Chee writes of a visit to Korea that changed his relationship to his heritage. These writers, and the many others in this urgent collection, share powerful personal stories of living between cultures and languages while struggling to figure out who they are and where they belong.

A first-generation American's searing appraisal of race and assimilation in the US At the age of twelve, Sharmila Sen emigrated from India to the US. The year was 1982, and everywhere she turned, she was asked to self-report her race. Rejecting her new 'not quite' designation-not quite white, not quite black, not quite Asian-she spent much of her life attempting to blend into American whiteness. But after her teen years, watching shows like The Jeffersons, dancing to Duran Duran, and perfecting the art of Jell-O no-bake desserts, she was forced to reckon with the hard questions: Why does whiteness retain its cloak of invisibility while other colours are made hypervisible? Part memoir, part manifesto, Not Quite Not White is a witty and poignant story of self-discovery.

This book is inspired by my personal experience of living in the United states of America (commonly referred to as America, and/or USA) as a legal immigrant from Nigeria. This book basically is a guide to living in America, written by an "experienced" immigrant to a "newcomer" or "rookie" immigrant. the book gives you a comprehensive basic knowledge of America, and of living in America. By the time you are done with this book, you would have learned some basic but very important things about America and found some new confidence living in your new country.This book serves a guide to people coming to America as immigrants (permanent residents), and non-immigrants planning to stay for an extended period, for example, students. It can also be utilized by illegal immigrants, (I probably shouldn't say that, but it's true, that's the reality we live in now), however the target audience for this guide are legal immigrants to the USA. In addition, this guide would make an interesting read for other "experienced" immigrants, green card holders, and to all citizens of the USA.When I came to the USA, now my home, nobody gave me a comprehensive guide, I wish I had some guidance. What I had were tit bits, hearsays, myths, half-hearted advices, and basically had to live and learn from experience (which is the best teacher). Failing, falling, making mistakes, picking myself up, correcting myself, and through self-motivation, and self-education, now I am "soaring on wings like the eagle." Glory to God Almighty! Can I just say here, that falling, or failing is not a problem; it is what you do after falling that may result into a problem or result into a sure path toward success. Word!!This book (or guide) reflects my personality; down to earth, humble, no hype, straight shooting, honest, humorous, bold, and full of courage, among other winning qualities. Lol. The contents of this book are sincere, and I don't wish you to make mistakes others made (including my humble self) and trust me they can be costly. You don't have to make these same mistakes, so my sincere wish is that the contents of this book will help jump start your new life in America, and help you make the right decisions, the first time, all the time. In essence hit the ground running.

Teaching Writing through the Immigrant Story explores the intersection between immigration and pedagogy via the narrative form. Embedded in the contexts of both student writing and student reading of literature chapters by scholars from four-year and two-year colleges and universities across the country, this book engages the topic of immigration within writing and literature courses as the site for extending, critiquing, and challenging assumptions about justice and equity while deepening students’ sense of ethics and humanity. Each of the chapters recognizes the prevalence of immigrant students in writing classrooms across the United States—including foreign-born, first- and second-generation Americans, and more—and the myriad opportunities and challenges those students present to their instructors. These contributors have seen the validity in the stories and experiences these students bring to the classroom—evidence of their lifetimes of complex learning in both academic and nonacademic settings. Like thousands of college-level instructors in the United States, they have immigrant stories of their own. The immigrant “narrative” offers a unique framework for knowledge production in which students and teachers may learn from each other, in which the ordinary power dynamic of teacher and students begins to shift, to enable empathy to emerge and to provide space for an authentic kind of pedagogy. By engaging writing and literature teachers within and outside the classroom, Teaching Writing through the Immigrant Story speaks to the immigrant narrative as a viable frame for teaching writing—an opportunity for building and articulating knowledge through academic discourse. The book creates a platform for immigration as a writing and literary theme, a framework for critical thinking, and a foundation for significant social change and advocacy.

In an ironic reversal of the American dream, a staggering 20,000 members of the immigrant community of Midwood, Brooklyn (known as Little Pakistan), voluntarily left the United States after 9/11. Tram Nguyen reveals the human cost of the domestic war on terror and examines the impact of post-9/11 policies on people targeted because of immigration status, nationality, and religion. Nguyen’s evocative narrative reporting--about the families, detainees, local leaders, community advocates, and others living on the front lines--tells the stories of people who witnessed and experienced firsthand the unjust detainment or deportation of family members, friends, and neighbors. We meet Mohammad Butt, who died in detention in New Jersey, and the Saleems, who flee Queens for Canada. We even follow a self-proclaimed ’citizen patroller’ who monitors and detains immigrants on the U.S.-Mexico border. We Are All Suspects Now, in the words of Mike Davis, “takes us inside a dark world . . . where the American Dream is fast turning into a nightmare and suggests proactive responses to stop our growing climate of xenophobia, intimidation, and discrimination."
