American Dirt by Jeanine Cummins

5.0

American Dirt is a novel by Jeanine Cummins that sheds light on the rough life of Latinas in their own land, forcing them to leave via choosing the death journey. They run away from the cartels violence to the land of the free, where they are not welcome! This results from discrimination, which must be uprooted by educating people that the only difference between humans is their actions (being a vile or a good person), not color, religion, and race that don't reflect the individual's personality. Thus ‘To deny people their human rights, is to challenge their very humanity - Mandela’ and ‘Helping someone else through difficulty is where civilization starts - Margaret Mead.’
