When One Culture Eats Another

What if dismissing a viral news story as a “hoax” was the real hoax all along?

When Springfield, Ohio, became a national symbol in America’s immigration debate, the media moved quickly to impose a clean, familiar narrative—claims were debunked, concerns were invented, and heritage citizens raising them were misled, manipulated, or worse. But for many Clark County residents, the official story rang false; it sounded more like a cover-up.

Rust-Belt Springfield had struggled for decades amid slowed job prospects, strained services, fragile neighborhoods, and a forsaken generation left to wonder if things could ever get better. Then thousands of Haitian migrants arrived in a community with little room to absorb the shock. Schools, hospitals, housing, streets, and workplaces felt the pressure immediately. Tragedies struck; residents spoke up. Then national politics seized on the story during the 2024 presidential election cycle, and rumor, denial, outrage, and opportunism collided. A tidy mainstream narrative subsequently devoured documented local history and dismissed all nuance.

In Haitians of Springfield, the first-ever book covering this American migrant crisis, New York Times bestselling author and lifelong Ohio resident Joshua Lisec tells the full story of what happens when one culture’s norms begin to supersede another’s, when a local way of life is willed into submission without a vote, without consent, and without recourse. Drawing on local reporting, original interviews, public testimony, firsthand accounts, hard evidence, and the first-ever professional polls of the people of Springfield, Lisec tells all sides of a story mainstream media would not—what mass migration looks like on the ground, how real people (on both sides) pay the price, and why the truth is buried when it's politically inconvenient.

As a representative case study, Haitians of Springfield traces the widening gap between lived experience of foreign influx into middle America and its approved narrative.Herein is the literary portrait of a city forced to confront whether citizenship, assimilation, identity, and belonging still mean what they once did—and to decide who bears the cost when progressive policy priority gets imposed locally . . . and punitively.
