America Is in the Heart: A Personal History by Carlos Bulosan

5.0

Although I had to read this book for an American Literature class, the book shows the struggles of Asian immigrants and the xenophobia many American had against them. As an Asian American myself, it baffles me that we hardly talk about the racism against Asians during the time periods in the American education system.

Allos came to America in hopes to see the freedom all immigrants think the country is at first glance. They fail to see in the end that the American Dream is just a nightmare. He tries to see the benefits of America, but upon arrival, he experiences the worst.
