41eu3elqihl__bo2204203200_pisitbsti Tavis Smiley interviews “The Accidental American” co-authors.  A longtime activist and immigration expert, Rinku Sen is president-executive director of the Applied Research Center and publisher of ColorLines magazine. Fekkak Mamdouh came to the U.S from his native Morocco and, although he held a degree in physics, began work in New York’s restaurant industry, starting as a busboy. In the aftermath of 9/11, he co-founded the Restaurant Opportunities Center of New York, to fight for equitable treatment. Sen and Mamdouh are co-authors of the new book on immigration, The Accidental American (which ImmigrationProf previously previewed).
