📚BOOK REVIEW 📚 This Land Is Our Land is a timely book discussing why western countries can benefit from accepting immigrants. The author Suketu Mehta is born in India, migrated and grew up in New York City in his pre teens. He draws some part of this book from his personal experiences and does not hold back putting any facts,stories, truths and lies for the world to see. The book focuses on the history of immigration in the world, many well researched stories to support that and also a few loopholes which are inflicted upon common man by the media. The book speaks a lot about rich countries exploiting the other countries and hence the ripple effect of that on countries for decades. The author also highlights the human part of the stories, making you think beyond laws, borders and nationalities There is an overdose of information and constant switching between time and place in a way that it can confuse people. My only complaint was that the author conveys his point in a very blur and oscillating manner and leaves it upto the reader to takeaway any conclusion. As an immigrant myself, I was a bit skeptical that I may be a bit biased towards the book but I uncovered so many new things which makes me empathetic towards all the immigrants in this world.🌎 Thank you @suketumehta for writing this book. I think this will be an eye opener for many who think that immigration is an “issue” and help them see it in a positive manner, not falling prey to what the current administration wants everyone to believe.🌈 💬 How do you deal with such heavy information overload non fiction books? * I plan to read a few chapters and come back again to it so I can grasp the information better 📝 • • • • • #immigration #immigrantstories #thislandisourland #bookclubs #suketumehta #bookstoread #nonfictionbooks #awareness #manifesto #bookrecommendations #ownvoicesreviews #ownvoice #mustread (at United States of America) https://www.instagram.com/p/B1e6o7HAI4o/?igshid=wstqcbkebaty
