We Are All Suspects Now

by Tram Nguyen

Published: 2005

Beautifully narrative and yet deeply investigative simultaneously, Nguyen explores immigration detention and deportation specifically post 9/11 and the subsequent loss of civil liberties, human families and whole communities, as US policies and practices on every level hinged on fear and discrimination. A small book (~150 pgs) with a big message—indeed, no one is exempt from being a suspect now.
