Omschrijving

For the first time in paperback and with a new introduction from author Ann Bausum! This thoughtful and moving book introduces young readers to the complex story of American immigration, more relevant now than ever.
WINNER OF THE CARTER G. WOODSON BOOK AWARD AND TOFTE/WRIGHT CHILDREN'S LITERATURE AWARD - A YALSA EXCELLENCE IN NONFICTION NOMINEE - AN INTERNATIONAL READING ASSOCIATON TEACHER'S CHOICE AND NOTABLE BOOK FOR A GLOBAL SOCIETY - A NATIONAL COUNCIL NOTABLE SOCIAL STUDIES TRADE BOOK

Award-winning author Ann Bausum brings the history of immigration in America alive for young people today in this compelling book for young readers. The story of America has always been shaped by people who came in search of a better life from all corners of the Earth, but the paths they trod have not always been easy. Immigration remains a critical topic in 21st century America, and how our children learn the lessons of the past will shape how they view today and the future, for all of us.

This important book presents a revealing series of snapshots from the dark side of immigration history, including:

Immigrants Denied: The true story of the St. Louis, a ship filled with Jewish refugees from Nazi Germany that sought refuge in American ports and was turned away.
Immigrants Detained: The real-life account of Japanese Americans during World War II, who were rounded up and placed in detention centers regardless of their patriotism or loyalties.
Immigrants Deported: The story of Emma Goldman, a free-speech activist who in 1919 was branded an extremist and deported back to Russia, after living in the United States for 30 years.
