520    "The story of two refugee families and their hope and 
       resilience as they fight to survive and belong in America 
       The welcoming and acceptance of immigrants and refugees 
       has been central to America's identity for centuries--yet 
       America has periodically turned its back at the times of 
       greatest humanitarian need. 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.
