Summary

Although Minnesota is not famous for its diversity, the state has welcomes more refugees per capita than any other. Yang-- herself a Hmong refugee-- has gathered stories of the stateless who today call the Twin Cities home. In their retelling, these stories of refugee journeys restore history and humanity to America's strangers and redeem its long tradition of welcome. -- adapted from front flap
