        <description><![CDATA[Actually, to clarify a few points, &quot;Immigration Blues&quot; is one short story from Santos' collection of short stories called Scent of Apples. In this collection, Santos, a Filipino author, focuses on the theme of exile and the hardships his people faced while acculturating themselves to the United States.There is no one summary for all the short stories, but I invite you to explore Santos' website and other enotes sources!]]></description>
