From the Bookshelves: We ARE Americans

The millions of undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. include young people who are studying hard and achieving academic success — only to find the doors of opportunity closed to them when they reach college. Education professor William Perez records their plight in a series of portraits in his new book, We ARE Americans: Untold stories of undocumented students in pursuit of the American Dream.
