Austin: Thanks for doing this! A great reading list. Here some other suggestions:

A Map is Only One Story: Twenty Writers on Immigration, Family, and the Meaning of Home, edited by Nicole Chung and Mensah Demary (short stories)

Undocumented, by Dan-el Padilla Peralta (autobiography)

Americanah, by Chimamanda Ngoni Adichie (novel)

Also, here is an immigration book list complied by LIRS: https://www.lirs.org/books-about-immigration/
