Produktbeschreibung

Discover the remarkable historical influence of legal immigrants and the significance of legal immigration to the United States. Accomplished author and first-generation immigrant Ghazi Rayan, MD, has penned yet another stellar title that celebrates the contributions legal immigrants have made to America. Introducing Immigrant Intellectuals: a narrative centered on the most influential minds that laid the foundation for America's early intellectual landscape. Immigrant Intellectuals compiles captivating biographies of many leading first-generation immigrant intellectuals who made groundbreaking contributions that laid the foundation for current knowledge and thought. The book seamlessly combines the history of wisdom, journalism, philosophy, psychoanalysis, poetry, narrative fiction, and religion, and demonstrates how they evolved from the earliest human civilizations of Mesopotamia through modernity. The book includes dozens of profiles of journalists, historians, novelists, poets, philosophers, environmentalists, and clergy, which showcase these immigrants' struggles and triumphs in informative and entertaining ways. The book also highlights the roles women played as resourceful intellectuals even when they were oppressed and fighting for their rights. Using pseudonyms, they disseminated their ideas through the written word. Written for readers with an interest in history or immigrants' cerebral contributions, Immigrant Intellectuals seeks to encourage a hopeful outlook for legal immigration and shift the perspective about the need for our generation to have similar attitudes to those of our forefathers toward immigrants-focusing more on the beneficence of America's early policy of diversity and inclusivity.
