“This riveting, courageous memoir ought to be mandatory reading for every American.” —Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow
“l cried reading this book, realizing more fully what my parents endured.” —Amy Tan, New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and Where the Past Begins

Pulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called “the most famous undocumented immigrant in America,” tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms.
“This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book––at its core––is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home.
After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.”
[有声书] 应该是近年出版的非法移民的回忆录中的一本很特别的书吧!作者虽然有着Mexican名字,却是来自菲律宾,同样带有西班牙殖民的痕迹。书的前2/3很真诚,后1/3开始涉及到很多对移民政策的观点,有点跟不上。整体来说很不错!作者的特殊背景(同性恋,名记者,一直是非法移民etc)让这本书不可能不火~
评分如果你在12岁在不知情的情况下被偷渡进了美国 16岁发现了自己是非法移民 你会怎么做呢? 会继续想办法在美国活下去还是选择回到自己的国家呢? 我不知道我会怎么选。
评分千万移民里每个人都有自己的故事。
