Journalist and Pulitzer finalist Suketu Mehta (NYS Writers Institute)
Conversation with Suketu Mehta, the author of This Land Is Our Land: An Immigrant's Manifesto (2019), a compelling argument for why the United States would benefit from accepting more immigrants.
Salman Rushdie said, “Written ‘in sorrow and anger,’ this is a brilliant and urgently necessary book, eloquently making the case against bigotry and for all of us migrants― what we are not, who we are, and why we deserve to be welcomed, not feared.”
Mehta was a Pulitzer finalist for his 2004 book, Maximum City: Bombay Lost and Found, an insider’s guide to a vast metropolis. An active journalist, NYU journalism professor, and long-time New Yorker, Mehta writes frequently about New York City, its immigrants, and the rise of Zohran Mamdani.
