"Sometimes immigrants must share their experience with the people who are fortunate enough to reside in their countries of birth. Not just to take off the load from their shoulders, but to make the others aware of the plight of hundreds of millions who leave their countries annually worldwide. I'm one of those immigrants. In this collection of twenty-one stories, I share my own experience and the experience of others like me through the lives of my composite protagonists"--

The 1492 Christopher Columbus stumbled upon these shores in his search for a route to the spice islands of the far East. Since then different waves of immigrants have followed suite from other parts of the world and for different reasons. Each generation of immigrants has had its own share of encounters with the landscape, climate and peoples. Navigating America's Contradictions is a travelogue of an immigrant from Cameroon in Africa, a modest attempt to explore some aspects of life in America after September 11, meeting people, trying to bridge the digital divide and looking for employment. The author compares experiences in today's America with past experiences both here and in his native Cameroon, drawing similarities, highlighting differences and attempting to dig below the surface for an explanation of some of the observations.

To the Point of No Return is a story of modern immigration as overpopulation and violence begin to undo the peaceful coexistence in poorer countries. Anthropologist, educator, and author Elie Jean-Louis debunks myths and exposes the mass migration phenomenon as both unnatural and permanent. Through the story of immigrant Philamar in his adopted country, Jean-Louis enlightens readers in developed nations about the plight of these new immigrants as they try to transition to new societies with norms, values, and belief systems different from their countries of birth. Without pretending to know what the answer is, To the Point of No Return invites readers to look more deeply into the root causes of this humanitarian crisis and find a response that upholds the dignity of life.

Louis Sarris lived the history of the United States during the 20th century. Coming to America as an immigrant in the 1920s, he endured the trials of assimilation during the Great Depression, served in combat in Europe during WWII, and eventually became a key figure in the State Department during the Vietnam War. In the process, he encountered historical figures such as Eleanor Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy, and served his adopted country through its darkest and most triumphant times. Written in the tradition of "Angela's Ashes" and "Unbroken," this memoir recounts Sarris's epic journey through war and peace to achieve the American Dream.
