A review by moonyreadsbystarlight
The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio

challenging emotional informative reflective

5.0

I originally read the beginning of this a couple years ago and ended up setting it down despite really liking it (one of the many partially read books gathering dust because of my weird moody reading brain). I've wanted to get back to it since then and I am so glad that I finally have. I loved everything about this from the writing to her approach as a writing working with/telling the stories of other people. She tells the story of undocumented people from several cities while incorporating her own story of growing up undocumented and her experience interacting with and having relationships with the people in these communities. This is one I'm going to be thinking about for a long time
