{"product_id":"dear-america-von-jose-antonio-vargas","title":"Dear America","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMy name is Jose Antonio Vargas. I was born in the Philippines. When I was twelve, my mother sent me to the United States to live with her parents. While applying for a driver’s permit, I found out my papers were fake. More than two decades later, I am still here illegally, with no clear path to American citizenship. To some people, I am the “most famous illegal” in America. In my mind, I am only one of an estimated 11 million human beings whose uncertain fate is under threat in a country I call my home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis 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 about the unsettled, unmoored psychological state in which undocumented immigrants like me find ourselves. 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 what it means to not have a home.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9780062851345\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eNotes of an Undocumented Citizen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9780062851345","offer_id":57316543234373,"sku":"9780062851345","price":13.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/e22c0b92-ca8d-488c-b47f-3a1c39bffa4f.jpg?v=1779854490","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/dear-america-von-jose-antonio-vargas","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
