A captivating photographic portrait of the diverse experiences of
immigrants in the United States, depicting the resilience and
realities of building a home in a new place. Disturbed by the
increasingly hostile views of immigrants that arose in the United
States during the 2016 presidential election, photographer Colin
Boyd Shafer set out on a road trip to meet hundreds of families and
individuals with roots abroad who now live in America. The result,
after a year of travel covering fifty thousand miles, is this
collection of striking photos and moving stories that form a
portrait of the nation’s complex and shifting relationship to
immigration. Some of the participants chose to make America home;
others were displaced by crises. Some were warmly welcomed and
granted citizenship; others battled the immigration system for
years and still live with fear and uncertainty. Their circumstances
and origins vary, but all are united by a willingness to share
their stories—of harrowing journeys, intense love, separated
families, passionate activism—in hopes of adding nuance and depth
to a vital issue that continues to polarize Americans.
