| Abstract
|
:
|
"In an ironic reversal of the American dream, a staggering 20,000 members of the immigrant community of Midwood, Brooklyn (known as Little Pakistan), voluntarily left the United States after 9/11. Tram Nguyen reveals the human cost of the domestic war on terror and examines the impact of post-9/11 policies on people targeted because of immigration status, nationality, race, and religion. Nguyen's evocative narrative reporting - about the families, detainees, local leaders, community advocates, and others living on the front lines - tells the stories of people who witnessed and experienced firsthand the unjust detainment or deportation of family members, friends, and neighbors."--Jacket.
