| Abstract: | "Making the Immigrant Soldier" is a book that explores the intersection of race, ethnicity, gender, and class for immigrants in the US military. Through ethnographic research, the author examines the experiences of three individuals from diverse backgrounds as they navigate the military's pathway to citizenship. The book reveals that while the military offers opportunities for immigrant incorporation, full equality and economic stability remain elusive. The author's personal connections with the subjects provide a unique and honest perspective on the immigrant experience in the military, raising important questions about intersectionality and immigrant integration.
