Who is the Stranger Next Door? An Honest Answer From a Stranger

Sadiri Joy Tira. Who is the stranger next door? There are diachronic and synchronic strangers; cultural, tribal, linguistic, and religious strangers; social, and economic strangers; and of course, relational strangers. Host nations see new immigrants or foreigners as strangers, but these people also see their hosts as strangers.

This post is actually inspired by the important question, “Who is the stranger next door?” posed by Mark Overstreet. His question deserves a candid reflection from a stranger.
