American Immigration: Our History, Our Stories

By Kathleen Krull

Book Overview

From award-winning author Kathleen Krull comes an in-depth historical look at immigration in America--with stories of some of the immigrants who helped build this country.

America is a nation of immigrants. By land, air, and sea, people have come to the United States seeking a better life and more opportunities. Though the journey for many was grueling, with obstacles at every turn, our country would not be what it is today without their contributions.

From writers like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, to scientists like Albert Einstein, to innovators like Elon Musk, immigrants have changed the way we think, eat, and live. Their stories serve as powerful reminders of the progress we've made, and the work that is still left to be done.
