Historia
Journey without End chronicles the years-long journey of "extracontinentales"—African and South Asian migrants moving through Latin America, toward the United States. Based on five years of collaborative research between a journalist and an anthropologist, this book makes a narrative-driven critique of how state-level immigration policy fails extracontinental migrants.

A contemporary ethnography for your classes
Revisado: 06-01-23
As a trained ethnographer and cultural anthropologist who is always looking for recent and compelling ethnographies for the classroom, I am thrilled to have found this book. Academics already know the basics of the content, but the way that these authors capture the lives and travels of these migrants is priceless. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants to know what it is like for migrants making there way (or trying to make their way) to the US.

In this beautiful, close-to-the bone account, Jennifer Grey takes listeners on a vivid tour of the experiences that have shaped her, from her childhood as the daughter of Broadway and film legend Joel Grey, to the surprise hit with Patrick Swayze that made her America’s sweetheart, to her inspiring season eleven win on ABC’s Dancing with the Stars.

Historia
As a teenager, Kate Harris realized that the career she craved - to be an explorer, equal parts swashbuckler and metaphysician - had gone extinct. From what she could tell of the world from small-town Ontario, the likes of Marco Polo and Magellan had mapped the whole earth; there was nothing left to be discovered. Looking beyond this planet, she decided to become a scientist and go to Mars. In between studying at Oxford and MIT, Harris set off by bicycle down the fabled Silk Road with her childhood friend Mel.

Phenomenal book. Difficult narration.
Revisado: 11-14-22
Phenomenal book. I struggle to review this because I find the voice and articulation of the narrator to be incredibly distracting. I attempted to get beyond the distration by listening to the book on dubbing speed....this helped enough to listen to it but it was still difficult. Sadly the narration takes away from enjoyment of the book. I highly recommend that anyone reading this to purchase the physical book and read it yourself. The book is very well written!

Historia
There's a rebel within you. It's the part of you that already knows how to break free of fear and unhappiness. This rebel is the voice of your own awakened mind. It's your rebel buddha - the sharp, clear intelligence that resists the status quo. It wakes you up from the sleepy acceptance of your day-to-day reality and shows you the power of your enlightened nature. It's the vibrant, insightful energy that compels you to seek the truth.

Not well written....
Revisado: 05-31-22
Not well written and the author is judgmental and even inaccurate at times which makes most of his words hard to belief.

Anna Faris has advice for you. And it's great advice, because she's been through it all, and she wants to tell you what she's learned. Her comic memoir and first book, Unqualified, will share Anna's candid, sympathetic, and entertaining stories of love lost and won. Part memoir, part humorous, unflinching advice from her hit podcast Anna Faris Is Unqualified, the book will reveal Anna's unique take on how to navigate the bizarre, chaotic, and worthwhile adventure of finding love.

Somewhat entertaining....
Revisado: 05-11-22
Her movies are funny so I figured I would try her book. The book is entertaining enough. Her life has not been noteworthy enough to have written a memoir. Some parts are aggravating because she talks of how hard she has/had it as a privileged white girl/women and other parts are honest and raw and she tries to give some advice. It's fine.
