• Impossible Subjects👍 Recommends

  …recommending books to help understand immigration policy history

  “I'm going to recommend Impossible Subjects by May Nye. This is kind of a holy grail book for immigration nerds, but it's eminently readable and it tells the story of Americans' relationship to immigrants, really helps people understand how we reached this moment and how immigration enforcement has really always been subjective.”

• Meditations for Mortals👍 Recommends

  …recommending meditation book for understanding current events

  “The last book that I'm going to recommend is Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Berkman. So I don't know about you, but to get through the last few years, meditation has been really critical for me. And I've read a million books about it, but this one is just incredibly accessible. So I think whether you've been reading about mindfulness for years and you need a refresher or you're trying to jump into it for the first time, I think this is a really great book to kind of get you started and help get you fortified to learn about what's happening in the world right now.”

• Solito👍 Recommends

  …recommending narrative book about immigrant experience

  “I also want to recommend Solito by Javier Zamora going in a complete different direction. If you want to learn more about immigration in this moment, but you don't want to read about policy, you don't want to read anything wonky, you just want to read an incredibly beautiful story that helps you understand what it's like to come to the United States, to cross borders in general, what does it mean to be an immigrant? It's a gorgeous book.”
