In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain–the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

I am three years old, and I don’t yet know that I am stateless.” Habiburahman was born“I am three years old and will have to grow up with the hostility of others. I am already an outlaw in my own country, an outlaw in the world. I am three years old, and I don’t yet know that I am stateless.”
Habiburahman was born in 1979 and raised in a small village in western Burma. When he was three years old, the country’s military leader declared that his people, the Rohingya, were not one of the 135 recognized ethnic groups that formed the eight “national races.” He was left stateless in his own country.
Since 1982, millions of Rohingya have had to flee their homes as a result of extreme prejudice and persecution. In 2016 and 2017, the government intensified the process of ethnic cleansing, and over 700,000 Rohingya people were forced to cross the border into Bangladesh.
Here, for the first time, a Rohingya speaks up to expose the truth behind this global humanitarian crisis. Through the eyes of a child, we learn about the historic persecution of the Rohingya people and witness the violence Habiburahman endured throughout his life until he escaped the country in 2000.
First, They Erased Our Name is an urgent, moving memoir about what it feels like to be repressed in one’s own country and a refugee in others. It gives voice to the voiceless.

In this powerful, provocative, and universally lauded memoir–winner of the Andrew Carnegie Medal and finalist for the Kirkus Prize–genre-bending essayist and novelist Kiese Laymon “provocatively meditates on his trauma growing up as a black man, and in turn crafts an essential polemic against American moral rot” (Entertainment Weekly).
In Heavy, Laymon writes eloquently and honestly about growing up a hard-headed black son to a complicated and brilliant black mother in Jackson, Mississippi. From his early experiences of sexual violence, to his suspension from college, to time in New York as a college professor, Laymon charts his complex relationship with his mother, grandmother, anorexia, obesity, sex, writing, and ultimately gambling. Heavy is a “gorgeous, gutting…generous” (The New York Times) memoir that combines personal stories with piercing intellect to reflect both on the strife of American society and on Laymon’s experiences with abuse. By attempting to name secrets and lies he and his mother spent a lifetime avoiding, he asks us to confront the terrifying possibility that few in this nation actually know how to responsibly love, and even fewer want to live under the weight of actually becoming free.
“A book for people who appreciated Roxane Gay’s memoir Hunger” (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel), Heavy is defiant yet vulnerable, an insightful, often comical exploration of weight, identity, art, friendship, and family through years of haunting implosions and long reverberations. “You won’t be able to put [this memoir] down…It is packed with reminders of how black dreams get skewed and deferred, yet are also pregnant with the possibility that a kind of redemption may lie in intimate grappling with black realities” (The Atlantic). -

Durante este tiempo deUna coleccion de 35 ensayos y poemas audaces, importantes e innovadores de inmigrantes, refugiados y sonadores, incluidos escritores, artistas y activistas galardonados, que iluminan la experiencia de vivir sin documentos.
Durante este tiempo de inestabilidad politica e incertidumbre, esta coleccion de ensayos, poesia y arte tiene como objetivo cambiar el imaginario colectivo de la nacion sobre los migrantes y refugiados hacia uno arraigado en la humanidad y la justicia. Los escritores de esta antologia cambiaran la percepcion de si mismos y de sus comunidades a traves de la narracion y el arte, para declarar en voz alta y con orgullo que, aqui y en todas partes, son humanos a pesar de la militarizacion fronteriza, la detencion masiva y la legislacion antiinmigrante draconiana. Aqui, hablan de su experiencia, no solo lidiando con su estado migratorio actual, sino en un reflejo matizado de su propia existencia antes de la migracion y su hambre colectiva por un futuro sin fronteras.
Estas historias llevaran al lector a un viaje a traves de los recuerdos de la infancia, las anecdotas familiares y los suenos de reunirse con los padres del otro lado. Otras historias capturaran lo que a menudo no se discute, como el momento en que uno decide dejar los EE. UU. para buscar una nueva vida en otro lugar, despues de decadas de vivir como inmigrante indocumentado en los Estados Unidos, ser procesado en un centro de detencion como transmigrante, y luto por patrias imaginadas. Algunas historias tendran las complejidades en capas de ser negro y migrante, o reflejaran la angustia de envejecer fuera de DACA, pero todas las historias convergeran en las intersecciones de raza, clase, genero, nacionalidad, sexualidad, creencias politicas y derechos reproductivos. Como semillas de diente de leon, estas historias germinaran un sentido de urgencia, alegria, esperanza, luto y perseverancia, echando raices en el suelo mas duro, demostrando lo que puede florecer a pesar de las condiciones adversas.

Introduction by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Viet Thanh Nguyen
A unique collection of 41 groundbreaking essays, poems, and artwork by migrants, refugees and Dreamers–including award-winning writers, artists, and activists–that illuminate what it is like living undocumented today.
In the overheated debate about immigration, we often lose sight of the humanity at the heart of this complex issue. The immigrants and refugees living precariously in the United States are mothers and fathers, children, neighbors, and friends. Individuals propelled by hope and fear, they gamble their lives on the promise of America, yet their voices are rarely heard.
This anthology of essays, poetry, and art seeks to shift the immigration debate–now shaped by rancorous stereotypes and xenophobia–towards one rooted in humanity and justice. Through their storytelling and art, the contributors to this thought-provoking book remind us that they are human still. Transcending their current immigration status, they offer nuanced portraits of their existence before and after migration, the factors behind their choices, the pain of leaving their homeland and beginning anew in a strange country, and their collective hunger for a future not defined by borders.
Created entirely by undocumented or formerly undocumented migrants, Somewhere We Are Human is a journey of memory and yearning from people newly arrived to America, those who have been here for decades, and those who have ultimately chosen to leave or were deported. Touching on themes of race, class, gender, nationality, sexuality, politics, and parenthood, Somewhere We Are Human reveals how joy, hope, mourning, and perseverance can take root in the toughest soil and bloom in the harshest conditions.

Savala Nolan knows what it means to live in the in-between. Descended from a Black and Mexican father and a white mother, Nolan’s mixed-race identity is obvious, for better and worse. At her mother’s encouragement, she began her first diet at the age of three and has been both fat and painfully thin throughout her life. She has experienced both the discomfort of generational poverty and the ease of wealth and privilege.
It is these liminal spaces–of race, class, and body type–that the essays in Don’t Let It Get You Down excavate, presenting a clear and nuanced understanding of our society’s most intractable points of tension. The twelve essays that comprise this collection are rich with “gorgeous prose” (Nadia Owusu, author of Aftershocks) and are as humorous and as full of Nolan’s appetites as they are of anxiety. The result is lyrical and magnetic.
In “On Dating White Guys While Me,” Nolan realizes her early romantic pursuits of rich, preppy white guys weren’t about preference but about self-erasure. In the titular essay “Don’t Let it Get You Down,” we traverse the cyclical richness and sorrow of being Black in America as Black children face police brutality, “large Black females” encounter unique stigma, and Black men carry the weight of other people’s fear. In “Bad Education,” we see how women learn to internalize rage and accept violence to participate in our own culture. And in “To Wit and Also,” we meet Filliss, Grace, and Peggy, the enslaved women owned by Nolan’s white ancestors, reckoning with the knowledge that America’s original sin lives intimately within our present stories. Over and over again, Nolan reminds us that our true identities are often most authentically lived not in the black and white, but in the grey of the in-between.
Perfect for fans of Heavy by Kiese Laymon and Bad Feminist by Roxane Gay, Don’t Let It Get You Down delivers a “deeply personal insight” (Layla F. Saad, New York Times bestselling author of Me and White Supremacy) on race, class, bodies, and gender in America today. -

There has been very little written about juvenile detention and the path to justice. For many kids, a mistake made at age thirteen or fourteen–often resulting from external factors coupled with a biologically immature brain–can resonate through the rest of their lives, making high school difficult, college nearly impossible, and a middle-class life a mere fantasy. Here, in Children of the State, Jeff Hobbs challenges any preconceived perceptions about how the juvenile justice system works–and demonstrates in brilliant, piercing prose: No one so young should ever be considered irredeemable.
Writing with great heart and sensitivity, Hobbs presents three different true stories that show the day-to-day life and the challenges faced by those living and working in juvenile programs: educators, counselors, and–most importantly–children. While serving a year-long detention in Wilmington, Delaware–one of the violent crime capitols of America–a bright young man considers both the benefits and the immense costs of striving for college acceptance while imprisoned. A career juvenile hall English Language Arts teacher struggles to align the small moments of wonder in her work alongside its statistical futility, all while the San Francisco city government considers a new juvenile system without cinderblocks–and possibly without teachers. A territorial fistfight in Paterson, New Jersey is called a hate crime by the media and the boy held accountable seeks redemption and friendship in a demanding Life & Professional Skills class in lower Manhattan. Through these stories, Hobbs creates intimate portraits of these individuals as they struggle to make good decisions amidst the challenges of overcoming their pasts, and also asks: What should society do with young people who have made terrible mistakes?
Just as he did with The Short and Tragic Life of Robert Peace, Jeff Hobbs has crafted a gorgeous, captivating, and transcendent work of journalism with tremendous emotional power. Intimate and profound, relevant and revelatory, Children of the State masterfully blends personal stories with larger questions about race, class, prison reform, justice, and even about the concept of “fate.” -

Spanning comedy and tragedy, Alien Nation brilliantly illuminates what it’s like to be an immigrant in America.
America would not be America without its immigrants. This anthology, adapted from storytelling event “This Alien Nation,” captures firsthand the past and present of immigration in all its humor, pain, and weirdness. Contributors–some well-known, others regular (and fascinating) people–share moments from their lives, reminding us that immigration is not just a word dropped in the news (simplified to something you are “for” or “against”), but a world–rich with unique voices, perspectives, and experiences.
Travel from the Central Park playground where “tattle-tales” among nannies inspire Christine Lewis’s activism to an Alexandrian garden half a century ago courtesy of writer Andre Aciman. Visit a refugee camp in Gaza as described by actress and comedian Maysoon Zayid, and follow Intersex activist Tatenda Ngwaru as she flees Zimbabwe with dreams of meeting Oprah. Witness efforts from comedian Aparna Nancherla’s mother to make Aparna less shy, and Orange is the New Black‘s Laura Gomez makes an unlikely connection in a bed-and-breakfast.
Compelling and inspirational, Alien Nation is a celebration of immigration and an exploration of culture shock, isolation and community, loneliness and hope, heartbreak and promise–it’s a poignant reminder of our shared humanity at a time we need it greatly, and a thoughtful, entertaining tribute to cultural diversity.

Born in upper-crust black Chicago–her father was for years head of pediatrics at Provident, at the time the nation’s oldest black hospital? her mother was a socialite–Margo Jefferson has spent most of her life among (call them what you will) the colored aristocracy, the colored elite, the blue-vein society. Since the nineteenth century, they have stood apart, these inhabitants of Negroland, “a small region of Negro America where residents were sheltered by a certain amount of privilege and plenty.”
Reckoning with the strictures and demands of Negroland at crucial historical moments–the civil rights movement, the dawn of feminism, the fallacy of postracial America–Margo Jefferson brilliantly charts the twists and turns of a life informed by psychological and moral contradictions. Aware as it is of heartwrenching despair and depression, this book is a triumphant paean to the grace of perseverance.

In Walking with Abel, Anna Badkhen embeds herself with a family of Fulani cowboys–nomadic herders in Mali’s Sahel grasslands–as they embark on their annual migration across the savannah. It’s a cycle that connects the Fulani to their past even as their present is increasingly under threat–from Islamic militants, climate change, and the ever-encroaching urbanization that lures away their young. The Fulani, though, are no strangers to uncertainty–brilliantly resourceful and resilient, they’ve contended with famines, droughts, and wars for centuries.
Dubbed “Anna B+o” by the nomads who embrace her as one of their own, Badkhen narrates the Fulani’s journeys and her own with compassion and keen observation, transporting us from the Neolithic Sahara crisscrossed by rivers and abundant with wildlife to obelisk forests where the Fulani’s Stone Age ancestors painted tributes to cattle. Together they cross the Sahel–the savannah belt that stretches from the Indian Ocean to the Atlantic–with Fulani music they download to their cell phones and tales infused with the myths that ground their past, make sense of their identity, and safeguard their future.

As a young man, Friend noticed that his family tree, for all its glories, was full of alcoholics, depressives, and reckless eccentrics. Yet his identity had already been shaped by the family’s age-old traditions and expectations. Part memoir, part family history, and part cultural study of the long swoon of the American Wasp, Cheerful Money is a captivating examination of a cultural crack-up and a man trying to escape its wreckage.

Making Rent in Bed-Stuy explores the history and sociocultural importance of Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn’s largest historically black community, through the lens of a coming-of-age young American negro artist living at the dawn of an era in which urban class warfare is politely referred to as gentrification. Bookended by accounts of two different breakups, from a roommate and a lover, both who come from the white American elite, the book oscillates between chapters of urban bildungsroman and a historical examination of some of Bed-Stuy’s most salient aesthetic and political legacies.
Filled with personal stories and a vibrant cast of iconoclastic characters– friends and acquaintances such as Spike Lee; Lena Dunham; and Paul MacCleod, who made a living charging $5 for a tour of his extensive Elvis collection–Making Rent in Bed-Stuy poignantly captures what happens when youthful idealism clashes head-on with adult reality.
Melding in-depth reportage and personal narrative that investigates the disappointments and ironies of the Obama era, the book describes Brandon Harris’s radicalization, and the things he lost, and gained, along the way.

Algunos quieren marcharse de Cuba y no pueden, otros se fueron y nunca acabaron de llegar del todo. Viven en una especie de limbo, en un impasse perpetuo entre la realidad y el deseo, entre el pasado y el futuro, entre el pais de origen y el de destino, a la espera de una promesa, una confirmacion o, simple y llanamente, una tregua. Algo que les siga recordando que la vida es posible. ?Que diferencia hay entre un inmigrante, un exiliado y un refugiado? Abocados al caos, a la angustia o al hastio, los desplazados perennes son asediados por un mundo que a cada paso -en ese simulacro de avance hacia el espejismo de la sociedad de consumo- les recuerda que no existe un lugar para ellos. En esta novela coral, los personajes parecen moverse con desparpajo nomada entre Cuba, Estados Unidos, Mexico, Francia o Alemania, si bien todos ellos se hallan paralizados, inmersos en una falsa guerra que se libra en virtud de ninguna verdadera pasion, de ninguna autentica idea. Estructurada en una narracion atomizada que refleja con brillantez la desintegracion que representa el desarraigo, y llena de ternura, desencanto y melancolia, Falsa guerra es una novela extraordinaria que confirma a Carlos Manuel Alvarez como una de las voces ineludibles de su generacion, un recuento memorable y conmovedor de los pasos perdidos hacia ninguna parte que impone el exilio.
