Americanized: Rebel Without a Green Card by Sara Saedi
5.0
I would like to preface this review by saying that I am half Iranian. I’ve sadly never been to Iran, but my mom was an immigrant to the US at age 18.
This book taught me things I didn’t even know about the Iranian culture, and made me smile about the aspects I was familiar with. I also learned a lot about what it’s like to be an undocumented immigrant and applying for citizenship, which is not a perspective that I had read much from. Because this story is told from someone who actually had that experience, it was full of lots of detail.
This is a very informative book about immigration, Iranian history, and Iranian culture, and a must read in today’s world with the current political climate.
