Dreams Deported: Immigrant Youth and Families Resist Deportation

by Kent Wong (Editor), Nancy Guarneros (Editor), Angela Chuan-Ru Chen (Contributing Editor)

Dreams Deported: Immigrant Youth and Families Resist Deportation is a UCLA student publication featuring stories of deportation and of the courageous immigrant youth and families who have led the national campaign against deportations and successfully challenged the president of the United States to act.

This is the third book on this topic published by the UCLA Center for Labor Research and Education. The first book, Underground Undergrads: UCLA Undocumented Immigrant Students Speak Out, was the first in the country written by and about undocumented immigrant youth. The second book, Undocumented and Unafraid: Tam Tran, Cinthya Felix, and the Immigrant Youth Movement, is a tribute to Tam and Cinthya and captures the voices of a new generation who are coming out of the shadows, making history, and changing our country.

This book shows you the lives of of some immigrant youth and the effects that deportation has towards immigrant families. The stories were touching and it honestly gives light to the immigration situation that is occurring in the United States. Also, this book had me in tears and I enjoyed reading it.
