Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description: NPR explores the most recent generation of Americans, whose members include immigrants, children of immigrants, and individuals with vastly different cultural backgrounds. Featuring stories of struggle, survival and achievement that reveal what it means to be an American.   Actress Diane Guerrero (Orange Is the New Black) was born in the US, but at 14 years old came home from school to find her dad's car in the driveway and dinner on the stove, but the house empty. Her parents were being deported. After visiting her parents in jail, she was faced with the decision to return to Colombia with them or continue her education in the US as she fought to reunite her family.   Most aspiring chefs long for the white hat, the gleaming kitchen, the fancy menu. But Nigeria-born Tunde Wey stumbled into a different version of the American dream. He wanted to see the country and share the food of his West African childhood with friends and strangers along the way.   Hong Yen Chang was sent to US from China in 1872 to be groomed as a diplomat, a bridge between East and West. His training took him through Andover, Yale, and Columbia Law School. But California laws at the time prevented noncitizens from becoming lawyers, and Chang's bid to join the bar was denied. One hundred and twenty-five years later, the Supreme Court in California corrects this injustice, for the record.   High school student Junior Adriano is one of many immigrants applying for legal status under DACA, or Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (one of President Obama's executive actions on immigration). Those deeply controversial acts have changed many lives, including Junior's. Once fearful of border patrols, poverty, and homelessness, his life is finally moving out of the shadows.
