Make Yourself at Home: An Immigrant’s Guide to Settling in America

We live in a fallen world plagued by political unrest, conflicts, and wars. These factors, coupled with the desire for a better life, compel people to move to other areas—even across continents and oceans. Immigration brings people face to face with diverse cultures, and wherever diverse cultures meet, either there is immense personal growth, or things can go south quickly. The strategies introduced in this book are for immigrants who are new to the United States of America, but they are applicable to anyone who migrates within or outside of a country. Make Yourself at Home is a valuable resource for helping immigrants avoid the pitfalls experienced by those who have gone before them. Author Eric Tangumonkem, himself an immigrant and naturalized American citizen, presents practical assimilation strategies for education, money, home life, community, and health that, if followed, will position immigrants to excel in their new home.
