About the Book:

• Another Outsider follows the journey of Shahin, a young man from rural Bangladesh, who, like many others, dreams of a better life in the United States.
• Shahin arrives in the US with a theatre company, performing for Bengali associations in different cities.
• Instead of returning home, he chooses to stay back illegally, blending into the crowd of undocumented immigrants chasing the American Dream while constantly evading the police.
• He starts working for a transport company, but his undocumented status keeps him in perpetual fear of being caught.
• Eventually, luck favours him, and he secures a green card, allowing him to visit his homeland.
• However, when he returns, everything has changed—he no longer belongs to his roots nor fully to his new home. He becomes just another outsider.
• A poignant tale of migration, identity, displacement, and belonging, Another Outsider explores the struggles of illegal immigrants, the pursuit of dreams, and the alienation that follows
