"No matter your politics or home country this will change how you think about the movement of people between poor and rich countries...one of the best books on immigration written in a generation." --Matthew Desmond, author of Evicted

The definitive chronicle of our new age of global migration, told through the multi-generational saga of a Filipino family, by a veteran New York Times reporter and two-time Pulitzer Prize finalist.

When Jason DeParle moved in with Tita Comodas and her family in the Manila slums thirty years ago, he didn't expect to make lifelong friends. Nor did he expect to spend decades reporting on Tita, her husband, siblings, and children, as they came to embody the stunning rise of global migration. In his new book, DeParle paints an intimate portrait of an unforgettable family across three generations that dramatizes how the international movement of labor has reordered economics, politics, and culture across the world. At the heart of the story is Rosalie, Tita's middle child, who escapes poverty by becoming a nurse, and lands jobs in Jeddah, Abu Dhabi and, finally, Texas--joining the record forty-four million immigrants in the United States.

Migration touches every aspect of global life. It pumps billions in remittances into poor villages, fuels Western populism, powers Silicon Valley, sustains American health care, and brings one hundred languages to the Des Moines public schools. One in four children in the United States is an immigrant or the child of one. With no issue in American life so polarizing, DeParle expertly weaves between the personal and panoramic perspectives. Reunited with their children after years apart, Rosalie and her husband struggle to be parents, as their children try to find their place in a place they don't know. Ordinary and extraordinary at once, their journey is a twenty-first-century classic, rendered in gripping detail.

Absolutely love these gloves and they are perfect for a fall morning run or as an extra layer inside a mitten I have noticed under armour gloves seem to run slightly small but the large fit ne perfect and id consider my hand a little on the smaller side these fit perfectly snug

Lightweight, good touchscreen functionality, poor sewing quality
Color: Black (002)/Black, Size: Small, Color: Black (002)/Black, Size: Small
I really liked these gloves. They are thin, but provided a fair amount of warmth. The touch screen worked great. I also thought the little pocket was a great addition. The downside is the second time I wore them, the seam on the thumb split. Not sure if it was a defect in just this pair or a recurring thing as my size was sold out when I attempted to exchange them.
