Lives in Limbo - by Roberto G Gonzales

The book "Lives in Limbo" by Roberto G.

Gonzales is a groundbreaking ethnography that sheds light on the struggles of highly educated undocumented youth in America.

Through an extraordinary twelve-year study, Gonzales follows 150 undocumented young adults in Los Angeles and uncovers the failures of a system that integrates children into K-12 schools but ultimately denies them the rewards of their labor.

The book offers a masterful portrait of heartbreak and anguish as these young people slowly come to realize they have no secure place in the only country they know. The author's careful attention to the ways in which these young people navigate contradictory processes results in a compassionate telling of their stories, making this book a must-read for every American.

Theoretically rich and beautifully written, "Lives in Limbo" is a landmark study of the human costs of America's broken immigration system.

Don't miss out on this important work that will change the way you think about immigration reform and the lives of undocumented youth in America.
