Looking at the work of Junot Díaz, Cristina García, Julia Alvarez, and other Latino/a authors who are U.S. citizens, Marta Caminero-Santangelo examines how writers are increasingly expressing their solidarity with undocumented immigrants. Through storytelling, these writers create community and a sense of peoplehood that includes non-citizen Latino/as. This volume also foregrounds the narratives of unauthorized migrants themselves, showing how their stories are emerging into the public sphere. Immigration and citizenship are multifaceted issues, and the voices are myriad. They challenge common interpretations of "illegal" immigration, explore inevitable traumas and ethical dilemmas, protest their own silencing in immigration debates, and even capitalize on the topic for the commercial market. Yet these texts all seek to affect political discourse by advancing the possibility of empathy across lines of ethnicity and citizenship status. As border enforcement strategies escalate along with political rhetoric, detentions, and deaths, these counternarratives are more significant than ever before, and their perspectives cannot be ignored. What we are witnessing, argues Caminero-Santangelo, is a mass mobilization of stories. This growing body of literature is critical to understanding not only the Latino/a immigrant experience but also alternative visions of nation and belonging.

This autobiography is the first in a series of 'documenting the undocumented'. This series seeks to document the indigenous knowledge held by the elderly members of the society so that the informal and non-formal wealth of information they have accumulated in their lives can benefit all those going through the formal education. it is meant to partly reduce the vacuum existing in the lives of the 'educated' using the modern formal curriculum.

As we write jaduong's (Mzee's) biography, the editor of this book, a retired University Professor, wishes to acknowledge that it has been a very enriching and worthwhile experience sharing and engaging with Mzee Dola. In all the three separate 4-5 hour sittings, coupled with at least 8 other shorter ones in the past, Mzee talks freely about leadership, community affairs, counsel to all age groups and gender, economic issues, education, health issues, national and global issues. Mzee talks with zeal and enthusiasm, always leaving one with appetite. This made me think Mzee is a continuous syllabus, the one which the professors neither teach about nor had the opportunity to learn from....in fact the one they never read...because the information in his head is undocumented....and therefore not in the library books and journals from where professors get their doctorate and subsequently professorship. As a result, this book is being processed as the first in a series of 'documenting the undocumented'. This is to mean, there is a lot of knowledge held by our elders that is in nobody's syllabus, which they are willing to give freely, and which we need to tap before it is all lost. It is a fast dying information and national resource. As a result, even after reading to the highest level, PhD, we seemingly still have lots of gaps in our heads. Whereas its al right getting to know and master all the items of our current syllabus in Kenya and Africa, it is clear that we have neglected a t more knowledge, residing in the head of our elders. The focus on formal education is killing a good part of us as people. We need to expand our education to cover the non-formal and informal education. For through these, our society shall be more complete devoid of the three national enemies as declared independence: Ujinga (ignorance / illiteracy), umaskini (poverty) and ugonjwa (wanton sickness). We need to document the undocumented, wherever they exist, and we need to strive to have all segment of the society having an opportunity of engaging with such sages in at least one stage in their lives. Otherwise we become educated, but remain unwise.

Examining how undocumented migrants are using film, video, and other documentary media to challenge surveillance, detention, and deportation As debates over immigration increasingly become flashpoints of political contention in the United States, a variety of advocacy groups, social service organizations, filmmakers, and artists have provided undocumented migrants with the tools and training to document their experiences. In The Undocumented Everyday, Rebecca M. Schreiber examines the significance of self-representation by undocumented Mexican and Central American migrants, arguing that by centering their own subjectivity and presence through their use of documentary media, these migrants are effectively challenging intensified regimes of state surveillance and liberal strategies that emphasize visibility as a form of empowerment and inclusion. Schreiber explores documentation as both an aesthetic practice based on the visual conventions of social realism and a state-administered means of identification and control. As Schreiber shows, by visualizing new ways of belonging not necessarily defined by citizenship, these migrants are remaking documentary media, combining formal visual strategies with those of amateur photography and performative elements to create a mixed-genre aesthetic. In doing so, they make political claims and create new forms of protection for migrant communities experiencing increased surveillance, detention, and deportation.

My project focuses on Unaccompanied, a collection of poetry by Salvadoran American Javier Zamora published in September of 2017. In 1999 Zamora made the dangerous journey from El Salvador to the United States at the age of nine as an unaccompanied minor. It is this journey that inspired the title of this work. By retracing his footsteps some two decades later, Zamora grapples with his status as an undocumented person in the United States, the scars of the brutal journey across the Sonoran Desert, as well as the fragmented nature of his memories of home. This project asks what it means to cross the border into poetry. It begins by examining the poetics of the border, the in between place that haunts the lines of Zamora's poems and that acts as the lens through which he defines the self and characterizes temporality. By focusing on his poems that deal with the experience of the border crossing in my first chapter, I argue that the border extends far beyond its temporal and geographical parameters. Moving in my second chapter to the final section of poems that focus on the poet's date of arrival in the U.S., I argue that the date of arrival for Zamora similarly becomes a component of his identity, one which he cannot leave behind. In my final chapter I focus on the poems of Unaccompanied that piece together or, in the language of anthropologist Sarah Coutin, "re/member" El Salvador of the past through the perspective of being removed from that place and by accessing collective, familial memory. These poems document the undocumented, and I read them as a human testimony of the precariousness of immigration status and what it means to live in between borders.
