Opinions regarding immigration have been a vital part of the American conversation throughout our entire history. Perhaps never more so than now. Our country has reached a crossroads in this conversation, a time in which discussion ends and action begins.
From the Puritans over three hundred years ago until this very day, America, more than any other nation in the world, has been defined by its immigrants. It can be fairly said America is not only a land of immigrants, America is her immigrants.
Sabah Toma would become one of those countless millions searching for what Americans call a better life but what immigrants call "life itself." Mr. Toma would discover America is not as he imagined: the warm, nurturing woman standing in the harbor, holding her lantern aloft for the world. He would learn she is a harsh--even brutal--task mistress demanding everything he could possibly give, and more. Finally, he would learn he could never give her enough because she, in turn, would give him everything.
Her Name Is America distills the vast complexity of our current social and political discourse into one single human face. In the face of Sabah Toma, we find hope, pain, loss, joy, and ultimately, perseverance. This is one immigrant's story--the story of Sabah Toma.
