Description
The Undocumented Americans by Karla Cornejo Villavicencio is a deeply personal and groundbreaking portrait of a nation that sheds light on the hidden lives of undocumented immigrants. After the election of 2016, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio decided to write about being undocumented for the first time using her own name, embarking on a journey across the country to tell the stories of her fellow undocumented immigrants. She explores the lives of those often reduced in the media to political pawns or nameless laborers, revealing their love, magic, heartbreak, insanity, and vulgarity. Through her stories, Villavicencio finds the singular characters that make up the nation's invisible population, and in doing so, uncovers the mysteries of her own life.
