Call me American by Abdi Nor Iftin is a memoir of a refugee escaping war and terror. The story depicts the dream of America - the chance for a better life and the chance to work hard and work honestly for that life. Despite all the hardships, Abdi Nor Iftin is perhaps the lucky one. He did win the Diversity Immigrant Visa Lottery, and the visa was honored. What of all the people for whom that is not the case? After reading this amazing story, that is the question I am left with.
