Description
Aviva Chomsky explores what it means to be an undocumented American in this thought-provoking work. By examining US policy and its impact on people, especially Mexican and Central Americans, she reveals how "illegality" and "undocumentedness" are concepts that exclude and exploit. Chomsky's book blends history with human drama, probing the complex nature of status in America. She shows how these concepts have evolved over time, affecting millions of lives. This powerful work is a testament to the ever-shifting nature of immigration policy and its consequences.
