A meditation on the condition of immigrants in the US and elsewhere, by a young Indian-born literary scholar, poet, and photographer. The book's chapters are the categories on a passport: name, date of birth, place of birth, sex, identifying marks, etc. Kumar shows how human complexities and histories resist placement on those dotted lines.
