About this event

We will be discussing "Dear America: Notes of an Undocumented Citizen" by Pulitzer-prize winning
journalist Jose Antonio Vargas. “This book is about homelessness, not in a traditional sense, but in the unmoored state undocumented immigrants are in. This book is about being forced to lie to get by, about passing as an American, hiding from the government and 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 meone of it’s own, this book is the closest thing I have to freedom.”
