This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrants Manifesto
An impassioned defense of global immigration, This Land Is Our Land draws upon the author's own experiences emigrating from India to Britain and America as well as years of worldwide reporting to subject the worldwide anti-immigrant backlash to withering scrutiny.
A timely and necessary intervention, and literary polemic of the highest order, This Land Is Our Land offers a sincere, rigorous, and forthright argument in defense of immigrants, both legal and illegal, in the wake of colonialism, complemented by plenty of memorable stories and characters.
“Pulitzer Prize–finalist Mehta (The Secret Life of Cities) displays his flair for evocative storytelling in this passionate argument for migration. Every scene is a joy to read, and Mehta’s passion lights his prose throughout.” -- Publishers Weekly
