After the Last Border is an intimate look at the lives of two women as they struggle for the twenty-first century American dream, having won the "golden ticket" to settle as refugees in Austin, Texas. Mu Naw, a Christian from Myanmar struggling to put down roots with her family, was accepted after decades in a refugee camp at a time when America was at its most open to displaced families; and Hasna, a Muslim from Syria, agrees to relocate as a last resort for the safety of her family--only to be cruelly separated from her children by a sudden ban on refugees from Muslim countries. Writer and activist Jessica Goudeau tracks the human impacts of America's ever-shifting refugee policy as both women narrowly escape from their home countries and begin the arduous but lifesaving process of resettling in Austin, Texas--a city that would show them the best and worst of what America has to offer. After the Last Border situates a dramatic, character-driven story within a larger history --the evolution of modern refugee resettlement in the United States, beginning with World War II and ending with current closed-door policies--revealing not just how America's changing attitudes toward refugees has influenced policies and laws, but also the profound effect on human lives"--|cProvided by publisher. 648 7 2000-2099|2fast 650 0 Women refugees|zTexas|zAustin|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Women immigrants|zTexas|zAustin|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Immigrant families|zTexas|zAustin|xHistory|y21st century. 650 0 Refugees|xGovernment policy|zUnited States|xHistory. 650 0 Women immigrants|zTexas|zAustin|xInterviews. 650 0 American Dream. 650 7 SOCIAL SCIENCE / Emigration & Immigration.|2bisacsh 650 7 POLITICAL SCIENCE / Human Rights.|2bisacsh 650 7 BIOGRAPHY & AUTOBIOGRAPHY / Cultural, Ethnic & Regional / General.|2bisacsh 650 7 Women refugees.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01178455 650 7 Refugees|xGovernment policy.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01092811 650 7 American Dream.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01738531 650 7 Emigration and immigration|xGovernment policy.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00908700 650 7 Immigrant families.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01746411 650 7 Women immigrants.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01177764 651 0 United States|xEmigration and immigration|xGovernment policy|xHistory. 651 7 United States.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204155 651 7 Texas|zAustin.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204313 655 0 Electronic books. 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 Personal narratives.|2lcgft 776 08 |iOnline version:|aGoudeau, Jessica,|tAfter the last border|dNew York : Viking, 2020.|z9780525559146|w(DLC) 2019033737 994 C0|bCKE
