Through testimonials, photography, poetry, and art, this book shares compelling stories of undocumented youth who turned oppression and hopelessness into faith and commitment for a better future-individuals who dared to hope with new dreams when faced with the myth and nightmare of the "American Dream." * Vividly conveys what "illegality" feels like through the real-world lived experiences and multiple ways of expression of young people * Communicates and illustrates how young people navigate the contradictions of being undocumented * Demonstrates the relevance and potential power of youth voices and expression as legitimate avenues to create equitable and just immigration reform * Situates the debate and struggle for immigration reform in the United States within a larger global understanding of political-economic injustice and within the context of the historically black-led struggle for freedom * Illustrates the significance of accompaniment as an important element of a collaborative action research methodology and as a tool for social change
