The widely recognized "Dreamer narrative" celebrates the
educational and economic achievements of undocumented youth to
justify a path to citizenship. While a well-intentioned, strategic
tactic to garner political support of undocumented youth, it has
promoted the idea that access to citizenship and rights should be
granted only to a select group of "deserving" immigrants. The
contributors to We Are Not Dreamers-themselves currently or
formerly undocumented-poignantly counter the Dreamer narrative by
grappling with the nuances of undocumented life in this country.
Theorizing those excluded from the Dreamer category-academically
struggling students, transgender activists, and queer undocumented
parents-the contributors call for an expansive articulation of
immigrant rights and justice that recognizes the full humanity of
undocumented immigrants while granting full and unconditional
rights. Illuminating how various institutions reproduce and benefit
from exclusionary narratives, this volume articulates the dangers
of the Dreamer narrative and envisions a different way forward.
