The DREAMers: How the Undocumented Youth Movement Transformed the Immigrant Rights Debate

Overall, a great book to learn about the immigration politics in the United States after 1990, particularly about the young undocumented immigrants who were brought to the US as children and faced legal barriers to function in the only society they called home.Although it was a great book, I have a few issues with it. One, it was a tad redundant. The author kept repeating himself throughout the book, repeating the same sentences to the point where it was kind of annoying. Two, the author does not mention anything about immigration in the United States prior to the 1990s. There was an immigration bills in the 1980s that legalized many undocumented immigrants, but no mention of it. So this book is more of a snapshot of immigration after the 1990s, which makes sense but what about DREAMers before the 1990s? Three, it had too much superfluous information that made the book a bit boring and uninteresting to non-academic readers (which is bad because it limits the book to a particular audience). Since the author is only an ally of the DREAMers, his writing takes a more matter of fact approach to the topics discussed, which is both good and bad, but overall it prevents him from approaching the topics in a more meaningful way.Nevertheless, it was a great book and one of the few books to discuss the marvelous work of the DREAMers.

Still reading but I like what I have read thus far. Good history.

Used it for class! Came in perfect condition!

just ok

Great book and condition is as described

Its a excellent book I recommend to read for every immigrants

Liberal dribble. Not grounded in US Law, precedent or social context of US immigration policies.

Incredibly well written very dense

Excellent account about latino migrants in the U.S.
