Amazon Customer: Whether you’re an immigrant (legal or not) or you were born in the US, you must read this book. It will not only open your eyes to the experiences of undocumented Americans (Just for one instance: did you know how many of them took part in cleaning up after the 9/11 attack? Did you know how many have died due to the complications, unable to claim any financial help to cover hospital bills?) but also help you better understand the laws that prevent them from coming to the US legally or legalizing themselves while already in the US. This is a collection of incredibly personal, raw accounts which will touch you in the most profound way.

Lucía: «I grew up with nightmares but they are living through nightmares.»
Creo que la sinopsis de este libro lo dice todo, una maravilla de libro que recomiendo a todo el mundo. Os dejo la sinopsis en español para los que no os llevéis bien con el inglés:
Una de las primeras inmigrantes indocumentadas en graduarse de Harvard revela las vidas ocultas de sus compañeros estadounidenses indocumentados en este retrato profundamente personal e innovador de una nación.
La escritora Karla Cornejo Villavicencio estaba en DACA cuando decidió escribir sobre ser indocumentada por primera vez usando su propio nombre. Fue justo después de las elecciones de 2016, el día en que se dio cuenta de que la historia de la que había intentado evitar era la única que quería contar. Así que escribió el número de teléfono de su abogado de inmigración en la mano con rotulador y se embarcó en un viaje por todo el país para contar las historias de sus compañeros inmigrantes indocumentados y encontrar la clave oculta de la suya.
Mirando más allá de los focos de conflicto de la frontera o del activismo de los DREAMers, Cornejo Villavicencio explora la vida de los...

Tess Caldwell: I just finished the book and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. The style of writing pulls you in and makes you feel like you’re talking to a friend. She wants to talk to you about the things that tug on her heart, and she carefully shares the sensation so that it tugs on yours too. The book is a perfect mix of facts, interview and her personal position, making it a compelling read during a time when immigrants are the political punching bag. Please read this to gain a perspective other than your own and to be reminded of the beauty within each of her subjects. This country is plagued by injustice and we cannot just turn a blind eye because it makes us uncomfortable.

William Lara: Compelling chronicle of real facts!

Luke: Unrelenting and fearless, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio weaves intimate personal reflection and a participatory journalistic style all her own into a dynamic, nuanced portrait of life as an Undocumented American. Imperfect and raw in exactly the ways I imagine the author wants it to be, The Undocumented Americans keeps the reader off balance, compelling empathy, incredulity and unbridled, righteous rage - often within the space of a few phrases.
Going far afield beyond the popular, palatable "DREAMer" narrative (the "model minority" of our present day), this book carries a microphone directly to the most invisible, the most voiceless. The Undocumented Americans offers unflinching portrayals of the dehumanizing injustices heaped upon immigrant bodies. Prepare to confront and lament the lie and the cost of the so-called 'American Dream' with all its promises, privilege and creature comforts. Don't come for smiling faces framed in triumphant caps and gowns. Expect instead: swollen feet, bowed backs, wrinkled cheeks, gnarled hands, and brains, so stress-scarred their neural pathways most resemble "trees without branches."

arianna: "The Undocumented Americans" by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio was an extremely powerful, touching and essential read.
I want to start off by saying this book has so much information covering undocumented Americans and their lives. Villavicencio takes us on a journey from Staten Island, Ground Zero, Miami, Flint, Cleveland and New Haven. As she brings us through all these different places, the reader learns so much about the individual lives of undocumented Americans and the struggles they face.
I, personally, have been reading a lot of books surrounding the issues and unjustifiable treatment the undocumented American community faces upon reaching the United States, but this was so augmenting. There was so much information in this book that I didn't know about and couldn't even begin to imagine happening to other human beings.
This read truly does humble you in so many ways. As a first generation Dominican woman, I am profoundly reminded of my privilege. No matter who you are, what your background is, if you yourself are not an undocumented American you feel so deeply for the people in this book and it makes you really reconsider all the stupid, little things you complain...
