Recommends Meditations for Mortals
The last book that I'm going to recommend is Meditations for Mortals by Oliver Burkeman. So, I don't know about you, but to get through the last few years, meditation has been really critical for me. And I've read a million books about it, but this one is just incredibly accessible.

Recommends Solito
I [snorts] also want to recommend Solito by Javier Zamora going in the complete different direction. If you want to learn more about immigration in this moment, but you don't want to read about policy, you don't want to read anything wonky. You just want to read an incredibly beautiful story that helps you understand what it's like to come to the United States to cross borders in general. What does it mean to be an immigrant?

Recommends Impossible Subjects
So, I'm going to recommend um Impossible Subjects by May Nye. This is kind of a holy grail book for immigration nerds, but it's eminently readable and it tells the story of Americans relationship to immigrants. Um really helps people understand how we reached this moment and how immigration enforcement has really always been subjective. You know, it's never been as simple as figuring out who's legal and who isn't.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter, especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked article and a belief on korrents.com are left in their original language.
