About the Book: "Two Countries, One Heart" written by R.K.P. Market and Competition: This book was written for those who enjoy reading autobiographies reading the life story of another, learning through their experiences. Also, those who are interested in how the war was experienced by a child and the adaptations necessary following an immigration. Although there are many autobiographical books, the beauty is that none are identical. Each person lives their own story and interprets events in their own way. Hence, leaving my book unique.

My Shadow Is My Skin
Author: Katherine Whitney
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 147732027X
Category : Literary Collections
Languages : en
Pages : 297
Book Description
The Iranian revolution of 1979 launched a vast, global diaspora, with many Iranians establishing new lives in the United States. In the four decades since, the diaspora has expanded to include not only those who emigrated immediately after the revolution but also their American-born children, more recent immigrants, and people who married into Iranian families, all of whom carry their own stories of trauma, triumph, adversity, and belonging that reflect varied and nuanced perspectives on what it means to be Iranian or Iranian American. The essays in My Shadow Is My Skin are these stories. This collection brings together thirty-two authors, both established and emerging, whose writing captures the diversity of diasporic experiences. Reflecting on the Iranian American experience over the past forty years and shedding new light on themes of identity, duality, and alienation in twenty-first-century America, the authors present personal narratives of immigration, sexuality, marginalization, marriage, and religion that offer an antidote to the news media’s often superficial portrayals of Iran and the people who have a connection to it. My Shadow Is My Skin pulls back the curtain on a community that rarely gets to tell its own story.

A Son of Two Countries
Author: Rubagumya, Casmir M.
Publisher: Mkuki na Nyota Publishers
ISBN: 9987753450
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
A Son of Two Countries is a story of struggle for education. Born in 1946 in Rwanda under Belgian colonial rule, the author recounts his early education in Rwanda and later as a refugee in Tanzania. He was naturalized as a Tanzanian citizen in 1980 while doing his undergraduate studies at the University of Dar es Salaam. As he struggled to get education, the author was also grappling with his refugee status, with all the challenges that it entailed. The book gives insights into the contradictions of colonial and post-colonial education, as well as the author’s reflections on education in Tanzania, given his long experience in the education sector in that country. Finally, we get some glimpses into the dual identity of the author as a Tanzanian citizen of Rwandan origin and how this shaped his relationship with the two countries he calls home. As he aptly puts it, “Rwanda gave me my heart; Tanzania gave me my brain. I find it difficult to choose between my heart and my brain”.
