We Are All Suspects Now

3.5 Stars

I had to read this book for my American Studies class about The United States since September 11.

This was a really well put together book. I really liked the different perspectives that are shown that all tie into how 9/11 drastically changed the lives of both immigrants and POC in the US. Many of the families that were targeted were just seeking asylum and refugee, searching for the American Dream. This book really showcased that that American Dream was not their reality.

This was a quick read and it really opened my eyes to just how bad the racial profiling was/is post 9/11 in this country. But it also gave me perspective on just how many people are either trying to get into the US or trying to stay due to horrible circumstances in their home countries.
