For some immigrants, it’s almost a rite of passage to change your name when you arrive in the United States. Not that you ever forgot the old name. We hear via the Kerning Cultures podcast about two Iraqi immigrants, Tony and Andy, who have lived in the US for decades, and who step in and out of their two identities. This story originally appeared on Kerning Cultures, a podcast featuring Middle East radio documentaries.
