Publisher's Summary
Hyphened-Nation was inspired by the author's travels overseas and time spent living in the United Kingdom. Living abroad was an eye-opening experience; she grew to understand certain aspects of American culture better, the longer she lived overseas. This book is about her insights and experience of being treated as an American, rather than a hyphenated one.
The difference was startling and lead her on a journey to understand why the United States is one of the only, if not the only country, that hyphenates its citizens by ethnicity before nationality. It is a journey of discovery in understanding that those same boxes we allow ourselves to be placed into as hyphenated-Americans limit economic, educational, societal, and cultural growth.
Her story focuses on ways the United States and our global community differ culturally and steps citizens can take to create a nonhyphenated coalitional nation.
