This is a well-organized collection that features many talented writers and artists. What with recent (and ongoing) events, it feels more urgent than ever to stand up for and uplift immigrant communities, and I hope that this book will go a long way in fostering understanding and reducing stigma.

Wonderful and important collection of essays. Looking forward to reading more of these authors' work.
As an immigrant I seek out other immigrant experiences and compare mine to those. The one common denominator in all such stories is a longing for home that we have left behind. Each immigrant's experience is unique, each individual processes these experiences in their own way but there is some common thread in each that I can relate to. In this collection of essays written by different authors who write about their immigrant experiences, one can not but feel that strain of yearning, and that search for a path home. Or the question where is truly home. I suggest this collection to those who are interested in reading about immigrant stories.
Excellent anthology of diverse writers. I especially enjoyed the comic "Say It with Noodles" by [a:Shing Yin Khor|5185774|Shing Yin Khor|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1629844954p2/5185774.jpg].
