Reviews
"Ray Suarez is that rare national treasure who is as compelled by other people's voices as his own. We Are Home is the work of someone who has long found poetry in ordinary people's words, both on air and on the page. In this volume, a snapshot of an urgent, even desperate, era, Suarez's signature wit and care for his interview subjects radiates." -- Alissa Quart, author of Bootstrapped and Squeezed

Synopsis
From a veteran broadcaster and historian comes a richly reported portrait of the newest Americans, immigrants from all over the globe who are living all across the country, filled with their own voices. We are a nation of immigrants, never more than now. In recent decades, the numbers have skyrocketed, thanks to people coming from many continents--especially Asia, Africa, and South America. Just like their predecessors, they face countless obstacles, including political hatred. And yet, just like their predecessors, they work hard. They persist. And they become us. The newest Americans are poorly understood and frequently presented only in stereotypes. Veteran journalist, broadcaster, and interviewer Ray Suarez has criss-crossed the country to speak to new Americans from all corners of the globe, and to record their stories. This portrait of our newest citizens is full of their own, compelling voices. It's a story as old as the country, yet each new wave of arrivals tells that classic story in new and crucially important ways., We are both the place where a Black man bounded onto a stage in Grant Park in Chicago in 2008 to accept the ovation of a cheering crowd for becoming the country's first Black chief executive and the country that watched-again and again-a police officer snuff the life from a Black man with the weight of his body pressing on that man's neck. We are both the country where a Turkish Kurdish immigrant named Hamdi Ulukaya became a billionaire in less than twenty years and the country that sent secret agents into mosques in the years ofter the 2001 terrorist attacks to spy and root out radicalism. We are both the country that prides itself on being a "nation of immigrants" and the country openly wondering whether we still want to be. We are both the country that proudly declares its openness to people regardless of race, religion, and national origin and the country openly wondering whether this will still be America if the majority of people are no longer Christian, white, and of European descent. The story of the coming changes in who lives here, in what a typical American looks like and when her family got here, starts in 1965 with the reform act that scrapped the old quota system and opened America up to the rest of the world. That was a milepost, a marker on a long timeline toward our present population that begings during the Lyndon Johnson administration with a US senator from Michigan named Philip Hart and a US representative from New York named Emanuel Celler. What did they help create? Who are we today?
