City of Refugees The Story of Three Newcomers Who Breathed Life into a Dying American Town【電子書籍】[ Susan Hartman ]

＜p＞**A gripping portrait of refugees who forged a new life in the Rust Belt, the deep roots they’ve formed in their community, and their role in shaping its culture and prosperity.＜/p＞ ＜p＞"This is an American tale that everyone should read. . . . The storytelling is so intimate and the characters feel so deeply real that you will know them like neighbors."ーJake Halpern, author of ＜em＞Welcome to the New World＜/em＞**＜/p＞ ＜p＞War, persecution, natural disasters, and climate change continue to drive millions around the world from their homes. In this “tender, intimate, and important bookーa carefully reported rebuttal to the xenophobic narratives that define so much of modern American politics” (Sarah Stillman, staff writer, ＜em＞The New Yorker＜/em＞), journalist Susan Hartman follows 3 refugees over 8 years and tells the story of how they built new lives in the old manufacturing town of Utica, New York**. Sadia, a Somali Bantu teenager**, rebels against her mother; ＜strong＞Ali, an Iraqi interpreter＜/strong＞, creates a home with an American woman but is haunted by war; and ＜strong＞Mersiha, a Bosnian baker＜/strong＞, gambles everything to open a caf?.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Along the way, Hartman “illuminates the humanity of these outsiders while demonstrating the crucial role immigrants play in the economyーand the soulーof the nation" (＜em＞Los Angeles Times＜/em＞). The 3 newcomers are part of an extraordinary migration over the past 4 decades; thousands fleeing war and persecution have transformed Utica, opening small businesses, fixing up abandoned houses, and adding a spark of vitality to forlorn city streets. Utica is not alone. Other Rust Belt citiesーincluding Buffalo, Dayton, and Detroitーhave also welcomed refugees, hoping to jump-start their economies and attract a younger population.＜/p＞ ＜p＞＜em＞City of Refugees＜/em＞ is a complex and poignant story of a small city but also of Americaーa country whose promise of safe harbor and opportunity is knotty and incomplete, but undeniably alive.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
