Description
The title for this month is A Beginner's Guide to America by Roya Hakakian,
2021
This book gives us a portrait of what the new immigrant experience in America is really like, capturing the texture of life in a new place in all its complexity, laying bare both its beauty and its darkness. Roya Hakakian, an Iranian immigrant herself, shares what it is like to be from a country that is in America’s crosshairs.
