By turns heartbreaking and hilarious, troubling and uplifting, these "electric" essays come together to create a provocative, conversation-sparking, multivocal portrait of modern America (The Washington Post).
From Trump's proposed border wall and travel ban to the marching of white supremacists in Charlottesville, America is consumed by tensions over immigration and the question of which bodies are welcome. In this much-anticipated follow-up to the bestselling UK edition, hailed by Zadie Smith as "lively and vital," editors Nikesh Shukla and Chimene Suleyman hand the microphone to an incredible range of writers whose humanity and right to be here is under attack.
  • Chigozie Obioma unpacks an Igbo proverb that helped him navigate his journey to America from Nigeria.
  • Jenny Zhang analyzes cultural appropriation in 90s fashion, recalling her own pain and confusion as a teenager trying to fit in.
  • Fatimah Asghar describes the flood of memory and emotion triggered by an encounter with an Uber driver from Kashmir.
  • Alexander Chee writes of a visit to Korea that changed his relationship to his heritage.

These writers, and the many others in this urgent collection, share powerful personal stories of living between cultures and languages while struggling to figure out who they are and where they belong.

Could be 5 but it’s 3 stars
Size: Small, Color: Bright Emerald Green
These polos considering the price and more than decent quality in general, are easy 5 stars plus… however quality control needs to step it up.. these shirts are hits and misses and you never know what your going to get. This green polo was a miss. The left shoulder has an overlap on the seam at the should and sleeve of which creates a horn like effect when wearing the shirt. Looks like the outfits worn by villains in the power rangers series. But like I said, can easily be 5+ stars and even on this defective shirt, the material is very good for the price. I recommend these polos but just expect a few will defective.

Fading and shrinking.
Size: X-Large, Color: Black/White and Red Tipped
I'm reranking my previous review. I almost wear this cotton pique polo shirt because after a couple of washes it has faded, shrunk, become shapeless and collars have buckled. The shirt arms make my arms look like strings. I suppose you get what you pay for, but I wouldn't buy them again. The other two colors are not so bad as this faded dark blue one.
