"Wide-ranging yet consistently affecting, these pieces offer a crucial and inspired survey of the immigrant experience in America." – Publishers Weekly"[These contributions] touch on so many different facets of the immigrant experience that readers will find much to ponder and experience how creative writing enriches our understanding of each other and our lives." – BooklistIntroduction by Pulitzer Prize – winning author Viet Thanh NguyenA unique collection of 41 groundbreaking essays, poems, and artwork by migrants, refugees and Dreamers-including award-winning writers, artists, and activists-that illuminate what it is like living undocumented today.In the overheated debate about immigration, we often lose sight of the humanity at the heart of this complex issue. The immigrants and refugees living precariously in the United States are mothers and fathers, children, neighbors, and friends. Individuals propelled by hope and fear, they gamble their lives on the promise of America, yet their voices are rarely heard.This anthology of essays, poetry, and art seeks to shift the immigration debate-now shaped by rancorous stereotypes and xenophobia-towards one rooted in humanity and justice. Through their storytelling and art, the contributors to this thought-provoking book remind us that they are human still.
