It recounts the author's experiences and observations regarding immigration to America, presenting a detailed account of various immigrant groups as they transition from their home countries to their new lives in the United States. Steiner's narrative offers insights into the struggles, aspirations, and diversity of immigrants, making it an essential read for those interested in the themes of identity and belonging. The opening of the book sets a poignant tone, as it introduces the contrasting experiences of cabin passengers and steerage immigrants on a transatlantic voyage. Steiner describes a chance encounter with a woman of the first cabin who initially views steerage passengers with disdain, likening them to animals. As she interacts with the immigrants, her perspective begins to shift. The narrative captures the emotions of the steerage passengers who are filled with hope, fear, and the desire for a better life, juxtaposed with their harsh realities. Through this lens, Steiner aims to foster empathy and understanding for these individuals who are on the brink of embracing a new world, highlighting the labor and resilience required to navigate the immigrant experience in America.
