Observing how immigration has evolved from a bipartisan issue to a deeply divisive “family fight,” Suarez set out to explore a central question: who is an American, and who gets to decide? His book examines the experiences of immigrants from around the world who have come to the United States, undergone profound personal transformation, and fully embraced their new identity as Americans—often without full recognition from others. Suarez argues that their stories reveal both the enduring promise of America and the growing struggle to appreciate that newcomers’ successes are part of the nation’s own.\n
