Description

"When I came to the USA from West Germany on my own as a college student in 1991, I didn't realize I would still feel like a foreigner 31 years later." (Introduction, Amerigrant)

For immigrants settling into their new lives in America, everyday challenges can loom large without a cultural guide by their side. From deciphering social norms to navigating bureaucratic hurdles, the journey to acclimating to American life can feel like a daunting gauntlet of trial and error. Amerigrant: Being an American in the United States is a captivating pocketbook exploration of 99 examples of how immigrants navigate the intricate landscape of American culture.

Through insightful anecdotes (sometimes bordering on the absurd), readers gain a deeper understanding of the immigrant experience as they witness firsthand the ways in which newcomers process and sometimes overthink American culture when left to their own devices.

As immigrants and native-born Americans come together to share their stories, a profound understanding and appreciation emerge, fostering connections and building bridges across cultural divides.
