Descriere
UndocuAsians tells the timely, compelling story of the contemporary US immigrant rights movement with a focus on Asian undocumented immigrant narratives. It does so by drawing on personal reflections and research articles by self-identified undocuAsian organizers and scholars from Asian immigrant backgrounds.
