When people discuss “the immigrant narrative,” you may picture Ellis Island. But what is that process like today? We talk to two writers about the more modern immigrant journey. First, journalist and author Daniel Connolly talks about Isaias Ramos, a bright young man whose life is complicated by his status as an illegal immigrant. Then, author Shilpi Somaya Gowda discusses her own family’s experiences immigrating from India. Two very different stories bound by a common thread: the immigrant narrative.
Guest Information:
- Daniel Connolly, journalist and author of The Book of Isaias: A Child of Immigrants Seeks His Own America
- Shilpi Somaya Gowda, author of The Golden Son
