If you ever wondered about Iranian immigrants, read this book

Americanized by Sara Saedi

Americanized: A Rebel without a Green Card

By: Sara Saedi

Genre: YA Memoir

Pages: 288

Published: 2018

Read:  February

3 out of 5


This is a great memoir about an Iranian teen living in America without a green card. She went through her childhood without even knowing she was an illegal immigrant. Although not seemingly directly affected (she was still able to get a job), but the fear of being departed was always in the background. However, my favorite part was the Frequently Asked Questions added throughout the book. These weren’t directly related to her family, but Iranians in general. I thought this was very informative, while still being entertaining. I loved how the book was written in novel format, but still nonfiction. At first, one may not even realize it is nonfiction.
