Thanks for this. I own a bookstore and we have a good handful of others ones along these lines, although the ones you've just mentioned are excellent.
Do you have an email address where I can send a few other titles...it is tricky for me doing it here without spellcheck and such. Would love to chat further. Let me know at

Here's a good one: "The Accidental American:Immigration and Citizenship in the Age of Globalization" by Rinku Sen with Fekkak Mamdouh

And one I've wanted to read for quite a while: "A Nation of Immigrants" by John F. Kennedy.
