Diary of a reluctant dreamer

undocumented vignettes from a pre-American life
"In this hybrid memoir, Alberto Ledesma wonders, at what point does a long-time undocumented immigrant become an American in the making? From undocumented little boy to "Hyperdocumented" university professor, Ledesma recounts how even now, he sometimes finds himself reverting to the child he was, recalling his father's words: "Mijo, it doesn't matter how good you think your English is, la migra will still get you." Exploring Ledesma's experiences from immigrant to student to academic, "Diary of a Reluctant Dreamer" presents a humorous, gritty, and multilayered portrait of undocumented immigrant life in urban America"--Back cover.
