THE NATIONAL BESTSELLER“This riveting, courageous memoir ought to be mandatory reading for every American.”  —Michelle Alexander, New York Times bestselling author of The New Jim Crow“l cried reading this book, realizing more fully what my parents endured.” —Amy Tan, New York Times bestselling author of The Joy Luck Club and Where the Past Begins“This book couldn’t be more timely and more necessary.” —Dave Eggers, New York Times bestselling author of What Is the What and The Monk of MokhaPulitzer-Prize winning journalist Jose Antonio Vargas, called “the most famous undocumented immigrant in America,” tackles one of the defining issues of our time in this explosive and deeply personal call to arms.“This is not a book about the politics of immigration. This book––at its core––is not about immigration at all. This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unsettled, unmoored psychological state that undocumented immigrants like myself find ourselves in. This book is about lying and being forced to lie to get by; about passing as an American and as a contributing citizen; about families, keeping them together, and having to make new ones when you can’t. This book is about constantly hiding from the government and, in the process, hiding from ourselves. This book is about what it means to not have a home.After 25 years of living illegally in a country that does not consider me one of its own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.”—Jose Antonio Vargas, from Dear America

PDF Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen with Free EASY Reading!

Dear America is a courageous book written by a human being who overcame his natural desire for privacy and security to use his personal biography to shine light on the plight of undocumented Americans. An accomplished journalist, Vargas was able to fully capture my attention with his painful account of his struggle to find a home in a country that has so far denied him any chance at legal status. Even so, as empathetic as I am with the personal account of the author, the book is more than just a personal testament. Vargas aims to change the dialogue around immigration in a way analogous to the changed reality around gay marriage.Vargas was brought here illegally, unbeknownst to him, when he was just a boy. His experience of lying, passing and hiding constitutes a form of pain that is almost unfathomable to those of us fortunate enough to be American citizens by birth. Vargas is an expert narrator and conveyor of the agony of this peculiar, but common, type of “homelessness”.After building a career as a successful journalist, Vargas decided to come out as an undocumented immigrant by publishing a full account in the New York Times. Rendered not hirable by virtue of the article, Vargas has now devoted himself to a life of activism on behalf of undocumented Americans.While all readers will be riveted by his personal account, Vargas’s overarching goals are more controversial. Certainly, no one can deny that a more informed debate around undocumented Americans is necessary. But Vargas goes much farther than that. He aims to show American citizens that undocumented Americans are your neighbor, your family member, your colleague at work just as gay individuals who came out changed perceptions of the homosexual community. He believes that there is a dominant narrative written by white, straight males that needs to be challenged by traditionally marginalized groups. He even suggests that American laws are just expressions of this narrative.Because America at one time engaged in imperial conquests and political shenanigans in Central and South America he declares that these peoples have a right to immigrate to the United States.A review isn’t the place to argue these claims but, to be honest, I am skeptical of many of them. Instead of arguing these claims I would rather alert the potential reader that this book has deeper aims than just a gripping personal narrative.But, obviously written with good will, I strongly recommend this book to all Americans as shining a light on a situation that is a national shame. Agree with Vargas’s overall aims or not, we need people of good will to discuss how we can get out of what is euphemistically called a broken system. It is causing too much suffering on our fellow human beings to conclude otherwise.
