About this audiobook
America calls itself a nation of immigrants—but that sentence hides the people already here, the people brought in chains, the conquerors renamed as founders, and workers welcomed for their labor while rejected for their humanity.
In Nothing Is Foreign, Nobody’s crew enters the World Engine, a machine that turns discovery into ownership, people into property, labor into profit, and difference into foreignness. From Columbus and Hispaniola to border walls, factories, immigration offices, and the Statue of Liberty, the investigation exposes who receives permission to belong—and who controls the meaning of arrival.
Blending satire, history, humor, and philosophical dialogue, Vernon Snell’s Poetic Cinema turns institutions into characters and questions into weapons. This book distinguishes Indigenous presence, forced African transportation, conquest, refuge, labor, and migration—then asks the question no border can answer: Who came from nowhere?
Nothing is foreign. Nobody is nobody.
