Introducing a new nonfiction series that uncovers hidden histories of the United States.
The true story of a nation of immigrants and its dreamers.
The United States has long been touted as a place where anyone with a little grit and determination could come to pursue the American Dream.

A New History of Immigration introduces young readers to alternative histories of immigration beyond Ellis Island and amplifies the voices of marginalized immigrants and their stories of success.
Jaclyn Backhaus is a playwright and the winner of the 2018 Horton Foote Prize for her play India Pale Ale. She lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Christopher Sebastian Parker is a professor of Social Justice and Political Science at the University of Washington. His work can be found in the New York Times, Washington Post, and Politico. He regularly appears on MSNBC, PBS, C-SPAN, and the History Channel. He lives in Seattle, Washington.
