By: Alan Headbloom – Feel Like You Belong

 

Why do Americans fear foreigners? Author Deepa Iyer, herself an immigrant from India, talks about Islamophobia, racial anxiety, and “othering” following the attacks of September 11, 2001. She shares stories from her new book, We Too Sing America: South Asian, Arab, Muslim, and Sikh Immigrants Shape Our Multiracial Future.

 

Alan Headbloom hosts Feel Like You Belong, a show filmed at WKTV focused on sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States.
