Description
'America Is in the Heart,' a seminal work by Filipino writer Carlos Bulosan, is a poignant semi-autobiographical novel that explores the immigrant experience in the early 20th century United States. This Penguin Classics edition brings to life Bulosan's journey from the Philippines to America, where dreams confront harsh realities of racism, poverty, and injustice. Through lyrical prose, Bulosan crafts a narrative that is both a deeply personal account and a powerful political statement, illuminating the struggles and resilience of Filipino immigrants.
