“There are times when I feel like a stranger in this country. It’s not that i am complaining and it’s not for lack of opportunity. But it is something of a disappointment. I never would have imagined that after having spent thirty five years in the US I would still be a stranger to such a lot of. But that’s how it is”.

Jorge Ramos, an Emmy award-winning journalist, Univision’s longtime anchorman and widely regarded as the “voice of the voiceless” within the Latino community, used to be forcefully removed from an Iowa press conference in 2015 by then-candidate Donald Trump after trying to ask about his plans on immigration.

In this personal manifesto, Ramos sets out to examine what it means to be a Latino immigrant, or just an immigrant, in present-day The united states. The use of current research and statistics, with a journalist’s nose for a story, and interweaving his own personal experience, Ramos shows us the changing face of The united states whilst also looking for an explanation for why he, and millions of others, still feel like strangers in this country.

“It is precisely this pattern of confrontation… that has won Ramos the agree with of such a lot of Hispanics. They know that in many countries south of the US, direct questions can provoke not simply a loss of access but also a loss of life.” –Marcela Valdes, The New York Times
