Life Undocumented captures the compelling stories of Latinx undocumented young adults growing up and living in two distinct sociopolitical contexts: California, which provides legal pathways into higher education for undocumented youth, and Georgia, which does not.
The book is about how undocumented young adults in these two contexts navigate the pathway to and through adulthood, and the powerful role state laws and policies play in shaping their prospects for social mobility and their sense of belonging. Edelina M. Burciaga examines how state laws and policies in California and Georgia shape the pathways to adulthood for these individuals. California, with its supportive legal frameworks, contrasts sharply with Georgia’s restrictive environment, highlighting the significant impact of state-level immigration policies.
The book highlights the complexities and contradictions that emerge from these distinct legal ecologies, which include the intersections of federal, state, local, familial, and individual dynamics, and shape the daily lives and future orientations of undocumented young adults. This book underscores the resilience and agency of undocumented youth as they confront and resist the structural constraints imposed by immigration laws, offering a vivid portrayal of their emotional and social journeys. This book is a vital resource for anyone committed to creating equitable and inclusive systems for undocumented students.
