A Moving Chronicle Of Who Belongs In America.Like So Many American Factory Towns, Lewiston, Maine, Thrived Until Its Mill Jobs Disappeared And The Young Began Leaving. But Then The Story Unexpectedly Veered: Over The Course Of Fifteen Years, The City Became Home To Thousands Of African Immigrants And, Along The Way, Turned Into One Of The Most Muslim Towns In The Us. Now About 6,000 Of Lewiston'S 36,000 Inhabitants Are Refugees And Asylum Seekers, Many Of Them Somali. Cynthia Anderson Tells The Story Of This Fractious Yet Resilient City Near Where She Grew Up, Offering The Unfolding Drama Of A Community'S Reinventionand Humanizing Some Of The Defining Political Issues In America Today.In Lewiston, Progress Is Real But Precarious. Anderson Takes The Reader Deep Into The Lives Of Both Immigrants And Lifelong Mainers: A Single Muslim Mom, An Antiislamist Activist, A Congolese Asylum Seeker, A Somali Community Leader. Their Lives Unfold In These Pages As Antiimmigrant Sentiment Rises Across The Us And National Realities Collide With Those In Lewiston. Home Now Gives A Poignant Account Of America'S Evolving Relationship With Religion And Race, And Makes A Sensitive Yet Powerful Case For Embracing Change.
