From the award-winning author of Soldier Girls and Just Like Us, an “extraordinary” (The Denver Post) account of refugee teenagers at a Denver public high school and their compassionate teacher and “a reminder that in an era of nativism, some Americans are still breaking down walls and nurturing the seeds of the great American experiment” (The New York Times Book Review).The Newcomers follows the lives of twenty-two immigrant teenagers throughout the course of the 2015-2016 school year as they land at South High School in Denver, Colorado. These newcomers, from fourteen to nineteen years old, come from nations convulsed by drought or famine or war. Many come directly from refugee camps, after experiencing dire forms of cataclysm. Some arrive alone, having left or lost every other member of their original family. At the center of their story is Mr. Williams, their dedicated and endlessly resourceful teacher of English Language Acquisition. If Mr. Williams does his job right, the newcomers will leave his class at the end of the school year with basic English skills and new confidence, their foundation for becoming Americans and finding a place in their new home. Ultimately, “The Newcomers reads more like an anthropologist’s notebook than a work of reportage: Helen Thorpe not only observes, she chips in her two cents and participates. Like her, we’re moved and agitated by this story of refugee teenagers…Donald Trump’s gross slander of refugees and immigrants is countered on every page by the evidence of these students’ lives and characters” (Los Angeles Review of Books). With the US at a political crossroads around questions of immigration, multiculturalism, and America’s role on the global stage, Thorpe presents a fresh and nuanced perspective. The Newcomers is “not only an intimate look at lives immigrant teens live, but it is a primer on the art and science of new language acquisition and a portrait of ongoing and emerging global horrors and the human fallout that arrives on our shores” (USA TODAY).

This book should be required reading for every person in this country. I don’t know how anyone could read the book and not identify with the people a Helen Thorpe writes about. The book is a bit like “walking in another’s shoes”. Helen Thorpe’s book documents why our country is stronger when we welcome immigrants. I grew up believing in the inscription at the base of the Statue of Liberty. My father was an immigrant having come to the U.S. at age 5 from Italy with his mother. My grandmother’s parents and siblings had immigrated a few years earlier. My father’s life was that of an immigrant who embraced America and all it stood for. A few years ago, my sister and a cousin arranged a reunion of our grandmother and her sisters grandchildren - many of whom I had never met. The reunion was a showcase of the American success story. The individuals Helen Thorpe writes about will find the same success.
