Sample Book Insights:
#1 Raisuddin worked at a mini-mart in Dallas, selling Americans three tamales for a dollar. The economy around the store was desolate, and it wasn't the economy of the legendary firms where third-world boys like him fantasized about working.
#2 Raisuddin grew up with America on his television screen, and thought of the place as a land of opportunity. But when he first arrived in Dallas, he was shocked by the poverty he saw around him.
#3 One night, Rais saw two young men huddled in the corner of his store, stealing condoms. He approached them and insisted they pay for what they'd taken. They told him to back off. He threatened to call the police, and they fled.
#4 Rais's father was an engineer for Bangladesh Telephone and Telegraph. He rose steadily through the bureaucracy, and the family was able to live a comfortable, gated life. Rais's conception of his father was of a man who was more than just his day job.
