Compelling, honest, and personal, this is a must-read for anyone interested in the immigration debate. -Booklist A forthright, moving piece of advocacy journalism. -Kirkus Reviews Truax succeeds in conveying how a shadow status permeates the lives of all the young people profiled here, with education, employment opportunities, and essential social services severely limited or unavailable. -Publishers Weekly Truax's informative, engaging read provides a new perspective on this country's ongoing immigration debate. -Library Journal Eileen Truax offers a gripping, close-up account of the lives of Dreamers-those young undocumented people who President Obama argued are American 'in every single way but one: on paper.' Through in-depth interviews and participation in their organizations and events, Truax captures the Dreamers' passions and hopes, as well as the heartbreaking challenges that our country's policies impose on them. She also paints a convincing portrait of the painstaking work and heady successes of one of the country's most important movements for social change in the twenty-first century. -Aviva Chomsky, author of Undocumented: How Immigration Became Illegal
