The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

emmehooks's review against another edition

challenging emotional reflective medium-paced

4.5

This book is not for the white allies hoping for a feel good story. This book is about the harsh, painful, racist truth of being undocumented in America and the ways the American  “justice” system tears people and communities apart. 

This book is a mix of deeply personal fears and experiences, narrative reporting, and community building as a radical act of self-preservation and existence.
