This book weaves together two distinct and powerfully related sources of knowledge: the
author's journey and transition from a once undocumented immigrant from Guatemala to a
hyperdocumented academic and five years of on-going national research on the identity
education and agency of undocumented college students. In interlacing both personal
experiences with findings from her empirical qualitative research Chang explores practical and
theoretical pedagogical curricular and policy-related discussions around issues that impact
undocumented immigrants while provide compelling rich narrative vignettes. Collectively these
findings support the argument that undocumented students can cultivate an empowering
self-identity by performing the role of infallible cultural citizen.
