His writing is not bad. One of the most interesting parts of this book is the author's voice - how it changes as he writes about different times in his life. ( ) A wrenching memoir by a young man brought to the United States as a four-year-old. His story is moving and thought-provoking. Alas, the library copy was defaced by someone who had crossed out "Undocumented" and replaced it with "ILLEGAL" on the title page, in case you were wondering where we are as a country. “Undocumented is an impassioned counterargument to those who feel, as did some of Peralta’s more xenophobic classmates that “illegals” are good-for-nothings who take jobs from Americans and deserve to be kicked out of the country. No one who reads this story of a brilliant young man and his proud mother will automatically equate undocumented immigrant with idle parasite. That stereotype is something else we shouldn’t take for granted.” nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

"Throughout his youth, Dan-el navigated...two worlds: the rough streets of East Harlem, where he lived with his brother and his mother and tried to make friends, and the ultra-elite halls of a Manhattan private school, where he could immerse himself in a world of books and where he soon rose to the top of his class. From Collegiate, Dan-el went to Princeton, where he thrived, and where he made the momentous decision to come out as an undocumented student in a Wall Street Journal profile a few months before he gave the salutatorian's traditional address in Latin at his commencement."-- Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
