<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>A Vietnamese Refugee, a Viral Video, and the United Airlines Scandal That Started It All</b><p>"His refusal to give up his seat on a United Airlines flight, and the ensuing assault he suffered, is emblematic of how far we, the people, still have to travel to create a world with liberty and justice for all." --<b>Marlena Fiol</b>, PhD, globally recognized scholar and speaker and author of Nothing Bad Between Us </p><p><b>Dr. David Dao was dragged off United Express Flight 3411 on April 9, 2017 after refusing to give up his seat. In the tradition of contemporary immigrant stories comes a personal narrative of the many small but significant acts of racial discrimination faced on the way to the American Dream.</b></p><p><b>The unseen effects of discrimination. </b>The United Airlines scandal of 2017 garnered over a million views on YouTube. A result of an overbooking overlook, security officials forcibly removed Dr. Dao after refusing to give up his seat. He awoke in the hospital to a concussion, a broken nose, several broken teeth, and worldwide attention. Things aren't always fair for an immigrant, but according to Dr. Dao, you can prevail if you firmly advocate for yourself.</p><p><b>A response to a lifetime of oppressive acts.</b> Why was Dr. Dao so adamant on his right to a seat? His entire life had led to that moment. A Vietnamese refugee, he fled his home country during the fall of Saigon. He was stranded in the Indian Ocean, immigrated to the United States, enrolled in medical school for a second time, built a practice, and started a family─all the while battling the effects of discrimination and what he had to embrace as a result. This is his story.</p><p><b>If you are moved by immigrant stories, or books like <em>America for Americans</em>, <em>Minor Feelings</em>, <em>How to Be an Antiracist</em>, or <em>The Making of Asian America</em>, then you'll want to read Dr. David Dao's story, <em>Dragged Off</em>.</b></p>
