Ibrahim came to the U.S., from Nigeria, on August 29, 2000 to pursue higher learning. He perceived America as a place where he could seek greener pastures and acquire opportunities that his home country could not have offered him at the time. His ideas of the American high-life are abruptly contrasted with the harsh realities that he encountered on a daily basis. Everyday became a bitter struggle as he had to chillingly accept the realization of instant independence, and the culture shock being away from the surroundings of his familiar homeland and family. In this emotional story, Ibrahim has remarkably captured the tribulations that he experienced during his first year living in the U.S. Diary of an Immigrant is a powerful, revealing, but yet humorous compilation of his quest and pursuit of the American dream.

The history of the United States in large part is the history of immigration, an immigration of working class peoples. Usually documented by sociologists, economists and other social scientists, the history becomes sanitized, devoid of the sweat, toil, and tears that make up the stories of real people. Here is an authentic, unexpected document from the very hands of a laborer whose trials have been even more burdensome due to his illegal status. Diary of an Undocumented Immigrant, the first book by RamÑn ñTianguisî P?rez, is written in a style that makes the stories of P?rez and his compatriots even more poignant, more touching, and more absurd given the nature of American politics and immigration policy. This is the true storynot the type of sensational report one might find in the news mediaof an undocumented immigrant worker. Here is his odyssey through the United States, his endless trail of menial jobs, his indignities, his humor and his optimism. Perhaps this will shed light on the often obscured experiences of the intelligent, persevering, hard-working human beings we take for granted as they wait our tables, clean our houses, and pick our fruits and vegetables. This is their story.

Never in history has mankind advanced so rapidly as in the past few decades. For the author, that advancement has been even more pronounced, as he progressed from being a lad lost in the wilderness of old-world farmlands and forests in India to the Director of Engineering in the most technologically advanced world of America. He saw sheer poverty, as well as the arrogance of the rich. Author kept a diary ever since he was a teenager. Maybe because it was fashionable in those days in India to communicate in English. He would write in poor, often laughable English; but he would write nonetheless. Who was going to read it except me, he thought. Those diaries and associated memories have been great companions over the years through thick or thin in his life's journey. Now so many years later, he has taken some of those writings and arranged them under different headings in this book. The book is divided into 42 stand-alone posts. It contains intermingled components of social, paranormal/spiritual, and professional experiences. The book is not intended to belittle anybody or any institution, but to reveal the realities of his everyday personal and professional life. This book is not about the author, but about his experiences. The purpose of this book is three-fold, which is projected through the lessons and outcomes of his personal experiences. First, through the social experience of life, he outlines that arrogance does not get anyone anywhere. It might make one temporarily happy, but in the end, it does more harm to the vessel it is kept in. It corrodes from the inside out, until the time when it is too late in life. Arrogance seems to emerge from ego and anger deep inside. In short: be humble because humility pays! Secondly, just because one is somewhat educated in science, does not mean s/he understands many subtle phenomena in nature and life. Just calling those phenomena mystical or paranormal does not absolve anyone from the responsibility to truthfulness. One must acknowledge the existence of higher truth and knowledge. Finally, one must not follow anyone blindly, no matter how well educated or established s/he is. Everybody makes mistakes, and nobody knows everything!(1) The social aspect of the book talks about author's stay in America as well as growing years in India and a glimpse into a society gone by. There are real life examples and experiences of rude, ruthless, and unwarranted behavior by highly educated and qualified people. Yet, there are personal experiences of utter humility and helpfulness. (2) Some experiences in this book are paranormal. Through these writings, the author wants to contribute in his own small way to discourage the creation of an environment in the future where people would be ashamed to admit these paranormal phenomena. "Convincing" anybody is not a goal, but the author simply wants to present first-hand experiences that are beyond the reach of physical science today. (3) The professional aspect of this book narrates examples revealing that everybody, no matter how well educated or established, makes silly mistakes costing millions of dollars. Only if one can learn and avoid repeating them can these mistakes be beneficial for personal and institutional progress. Examples in book show that common sense is not all that common even in professional circles! Even people in high positions lack common sense and basic understanding of engineering. The author has tried to be truthful and honest without hurting feelings. Where necessary, he has tried to keep the identities of individuals and organizations confidential. Of course, these experiences and encounters that he has narrated in the book are not in their entirety. Nevertheless, it is his sincere hope that some readers can discern a lesson or two, and place themselves on better footings in spiritual, social, or professional settings.

It's 1899. John Venner, born Giovanni Vener, has just been committed to the Vernon County Insane Asylum. When one of the nurses hands him a pen and a pad, his suppressed need to write surfaces and he scribbles about his experience the night before. By the third day he is making diary entries addressed to Maddie, the love of his life who had died just a few months earlier. John looks back at a life that was good to him, but one that never allowed him the leisure time to create, to fulfill his desire to put in writing his insights and thoughts. But now all responsibility had been taken away and he can reflect on his life - his life as a budding artist, immigrant, farmer, husband and father, and community leader.John tells us of his journey to America, his struggles to obtain and maintain his farms, re-experiencing his past, and talking sweet thoughts to Maddie, his wife. He tells Maddie (and us) why he emigrated from Campodolcino in northern Italy to Bad Ax, Wisconsin. He relives with her many moments from their courtship and their struggles to eke a living out of the bluffs and coulees in Genoa, a small Wisconsin town located on the banks of the Mississippi river. Many entries are bold and naked love songs to Maddie. He also tells her of his days struggling with reality since her death.Giovanni is left an original copy of Walt Whitman's Leaves of Grass and develops a love hate relationship with Whitman and his poems. Homer appears in a dream and challenges him to write the great modern epic that will straighten out the errors that he, Virgil, Milton and Dante made. They celebrated war & quest, chauvinism, evil & despair, and fear. Homer challenges John to set it right - to tell the story of family, gentleness, creativity, charity, and peace. John believes he is too old for that, so he concentrates on making diary entries that depict his life with Maddie as fruitful immigrants each day making life a little better for themselves, their neighbors and the world. By reading his diary entries, we find out how and why he emigrated from the area know as "fields of sweetness" in Valle Spluga to the rolling hills of western Wisconsin that proved a challenge every day to farm. The book includes a history of John's town, "Genoa, A Spray Drift of Empathy Part II" that tells the story of Genoa, Wisconsin, from the early part of the twentieth century until today. The story focuses mainly on the mid-twentieth century and expansively discusses what daily life was like for a resident in 1951. As seen through the eyes of a child, the life of a citizen of Genoa was filled with hard work, church, family, and close-knit community. [Genoa, Part I is in volume 1 of this series]Included is an essay, "Thwarting the Deadly Trinity - The Sword, the Famine, and the Pestilence," that investigates the possibility of ridding the world of war. The author defines the three main plagues upon the human race to be war, starvation, and pestilence. The author puts forth a theory of the basis for waging war, and then concludes with ideas of how the future of the world will benefit from the end of wars. The first part of the manuscript has personifications of death, starvation, war, and pestilence speaking to each other as they explain their continued existence. The manuscript then moves to feature individuals representing different ideas and viewpoints such as a historian, a politician, a farmer, etc. gathered around a table to discuss the existence and eradication of these plagues. The reader is invited to "listen in" to their discussion in 1870, and then that group joins current day counterparts to continue the discussion. The author also includes the genealogical story of John's Maddie, Mary Madeline Starlochi - tracing the actual ancestral history of our heroine back eleven generations to Guglielmo Chiaverini was born in 1566.
