America Is In The Heart: A Personal History - Thryft

Poetic journey through migrant hardships and hope.

If you're looking for a deeply personal narrative that speaks to the immigrant experience, "America Is In The Heart" could resonate with you.

It's an essential piece of literature for understanding the complexities of the American dream and the resilience of the human spirit.

Description

AMERICA IS IN THE HEART. First published in 1946, this autobiography of the well known Filipino poet describes his boyhood in the Philippines, his voyage to America, and his years of hardship and despair as an itinerant laborer following the harvest trail in the rural West. Bulosan does not spare the reader any of the horrors tha accompanied the migrant's life; but his quiet, stoic voice is the most convincing witness to the terrible events he witnessed.
