The book documents many instances of success, but also pitfalls in American society that this immigrant did not know. Pitfalls especially in the White man's judicial system and dealing with the police and the FBI. The book also shows how many immigrants try to bridge the gap between their old life and the White man's world.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003ePerhaps this book will contribute to helping set policies to pre-train immigrants before coming to America to help people deal with the pitfalls in the White man's world.
