Ilegal : reflexiones de un inmigrante indocumentado / by N., José Agel,author.;
"A day after N. first crossed the U.S. border from Mexico, he was caught and then released onto the streets of Tijuana. Undeterred, N. crawled back through a tunnel to San Diego, where he entered the United States forever. Illegal: Reflections of an Undocumented Immigrant is his timely and compelling memoir of building a new life in America. Authorial anonymity is required to protect this life. Arriving in the 1990s with a 9th grade education, N. traveled to Chicago where he found access to ESL classes and GED classes. He eventually attended college and graduate school and became a professional translator. Despite having a well-paying job, N. was isolated by a lack of official legal documentation. Travel concerns made big promotions out of reach. Vacation time was spent hiding at home, pretending that he was on a long-planned trip. The simple act of purchasing his girlfriend a beer at a Cubs baseball game caused embarrassment and shame when N. couldn't produce a valid ID. A frustrating contradiction, N. lived in a luxury high-rise condo but couldn't fully live the American dream. He did, however, find solace in the one gift America gave him--his education. Ultimately, N.'s is the story of the triumph of education over adversity. In Illegal he debunks the stereotype that undocumented immigrants are freeloaders without access to education or opportunity for advancement. With bravery and honesty, N. details the constraints, deceptions, and humiliations that characterize alien life "amid the shadows.""--

Estados unidos en la prosa de un inmigrante / by Marti, Jose,Author(local)tlcaut314300495572200; Díaz de Villegas, Néstor,1956-Author(DLC)no 96013153;
Includes bibliographical references and index.Publisher Annotation: An exclusive collection of Jose Marti's writings curated by Cuban author, Nestor Diaz de Villegas, including Marti's thundering accounts of political imprisonment during his teens. English translated title: Jose Marti: The United States in the Prose of an Immigrant, by Jose Marti. Jose Marti: Estados Unidos en la Prosa de un Inmigrante is a compilation of fragments from "Scenes of North America," as well as writings by Jose Marti for La Opinion Nacional, a newspaper in Caracas, Venezuela, submitted between 1881 and 1886. All of these fragments are set within the historical and social context,to which they belong, and analyzed as literary texts written in Spanish while Marti was living in the United States. Marti chronicled sociopolitical events taking place in the United States at the turn of the 19th century. His writings thus offer detailed analysis of the scientific and technical discoveries taking place at the time, as well as his insights on cultural trends such as fashion, art, and social customs of the time. The historical events described by Marti find striking resonance in issues of the present day. He delves into issues of race, immigration, patriotism, identity, slavery, police and democracy, and even queer aestheticism, as well as providing unfliching observations regarding the figure and performance of the President of the United States and the democratic institutions of his time. Cuba, 384pp.
