The undocumented Americans / Karla Cornejo Villavicencio. by Cornejo Villavicencio, Karla. One World, 2020. Call #: 364.137 C813u Subjects Cornejo Villavicencio, Karla.   Journalists -- United States -- 21st century -- Biography.   Noncitizens -- United States -- Biography.   Noncitizens -- United States -- Social conditions -- Biography. ISBN:  9780399592683 (hc.) Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xvii, 185 p. ; 22 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 177-185). Summary:  "Traveling across the country, journalist Karla Cornejo Villavicencio risked arrest at every turn to report the extraordinary stories of her fellow undocumented Americans. Her subjects have every reason to be wary around reporters, but Cornejo Villavicencio has unmatched access to their stories. Her work culminates in a stunning, essential read for our times. Born in Ecuador and brought to the United States when she was five years old, Cornejo Villavicencio has lived the American Dream. Raised on her father's deliveryman income, she later became one of the first undocumented students admitted into Harvard. She is now a doctoral candidate at Yale University and has written for The New York Times. She weaves her own story among those of the eleven million undocumented who have been thrust into the national conversation today as never before. Looking well beyond the flashpoints of the border or the activism of the Dreamers, Cornejo Villavicencio explores the lives of the undocumented as rarely seen in our daily headlines. In New York, we meet the undocumented workers who were recruited in the federally funded Ground Zero cleanup after 9/11. In Miami we enter the hidden botanicas, which offer witchcraft and homeopathy to those whose status blocks them from any other healthcare options. In Flint, Michigan, we witness how many live in fear as the government issues raids at grocery stores and demands identification before offering life-saving clean water. In her book, Undocumented America, Cornejo Villavicencio powerfully reveals the hidden corners of our nation of immigrants. She brings to light remarkable stories of hope and resilience, and through them we come to understand what it truly means to be American."--From publisher. Genre:  Memoirs.
