About this item
A collection of 36 extraordinary stories originally told on stage, featuring work by writers, entertainers, thinkers, and community leaders. Spanning comedy and tragedy, Alien Nation brilliantly illuminates what it's like to be an immigrant in America.America would not be America without its immigrants. This anthology, adapted from storytelling event "This Alien Nation," captures firsthand the past and present of immigration in all its humor, pain, and weirdness. Contributors - some well-known, others regular (and fascinating) people - share moments from their lives, reminding us that immigration is not just a word dropped in the news (simplified to something you are "for" or "against") , but a world - rich with unique voices, perspectives, and experiences.
