Author Discussion and Book Signing - The Accidental American September 17, 2008

Author Rinku Sen Hosts a Frank Discussion About Immigration and Citizenship in the Age of Globalization. In The Accidental American, Sen reframes the immigration debate by offering the remarkable story of Fekkak Mamdouh, an “accidental American” who, after his experiences immediately following 9/11, has become a champion for America’s most marginalized workers. In this no-holds-barred nonfiction narrative, the author reveals the racial and cultural conflicts embedded in the current immigration debate and explodes the myth that those living in both sending and receiving countries can enjoy the economic benefits of immigration while keeping their cultures static.
