The course is open to grades 9-12, so the book would need to be suitable for all grade levels and reading abilities.</div><div><br></div><div>Some topic areas she teaches in the class are: Irish immigration, Chinese (and some Japanese) Immigration, Immigration Restriction Policies that led to the refugee crisis during WW2 (she incorporates America's response to the Holocaust in this unit and teach about the St. Louis being turned away from the shores of the US); nativism & xenophobia and some coverage of current issues in immigration.</div><div><br></div><div>In the geography class that our school offered a few years ago, we used the novel <i>Enrique's Journey.</i> Students connected strongly to that book, but it is nearly 10 years old. That said, it is a terrific book and would speak specifically to the immigration crisis at our border, so she wouldn't say no to it. (I realize this story is about a person from Honduras, but it sounds like the topics she teaches in the Immigration class deal more with other parts of the world).<br></div><div><br></div><div>I would LOVE to hear any suggestions you all might have for novels about the American immigrant experience.
