About the Book
Drawing on hundreds of richly textured interviews, veteran journalist Sanford J. Ungar documents the real-life struggles and triumphs of America’s newest immigrants. He finds that the self-chosen who arrive every day, most of them legally, still enrich our national character and experience and make invaluable political, economic, social, cultural, and gastronomic contributions.About the Author
Sanford J. Unger is director of The Free Speech Project at Georgetown University and the former director of Voice of America. His books include The Papers & The Papers: An Account of the Legal and Political Battle over the Pentagon Papers.Reviews

"[Ungar] looks at the national controversy over immigration policy with a clear eye, producing a history and a convincing argument why this is no time to reverse a liberal welcome to newcomers that has always--in good times and bad--made this a better and more prosperous democracy." -- Ben H. Bagdikian
“First-class journalism, a book scholars will use decades from now to find out what it 'felt like' to be an immigrant in the Nineties”--Roger Daniels, author of Coming to America: A History of Immigration and Ethnicity in American Life
