Nosotros los dreamers : historias de vida más allá de la frontera
Book
Primera edición.
En Nosotros los dreamers, Josefina Vázquez Mota se acerca a las leyes, a las estadísticas, pero sobre todo a las historias y a las emociones que se encuentran detrás de estas historias de vida.Al mes de agosto de 2016, se estima que en Estados Unidos habitan 35 millones de personas de origen mexicano, de los cuales 23.5 millones nacieron en Estados Unidos y 11.5 millones, en México. De estos últimos sólo 5 millones carecen de documentos, y dentro de este grupo 1.3 millones son considerados dreamers: jóvenes que fueron llevados por sus padres a Estados Unidos siendo niños, que crecieron y se educaron en ese país y que, al ser indocumentados, enfrentan mayores barreras para desarrollarse profesionalmente. Sin embargo, esto no les impide soñar. Los testimonios en Nosotros los dreamers son un abanico de miradas distintas y obstáculos diversos; sin embargo, son voces que no se han rendido y que, por el contrario, han creado o se han sumado a grupos activistas junto a muchas otras personas que desean ser escuchadas y reconocidas como ellos, con el único objetivo de alcanzar sus sueños.
Men and women came to the US as children. Alongside with their parents, they traveled across a desert, mountains, and borders; they crossed a border by foot, carrying only their stories and their roots. Those children from ten or twenty years ago are now the dreamers. The dreamers are warriors that face diverse types of obstacles every day and never give up. They are examples of strength and perseverance, and in spite of their youth, are very clear of their fundamental purpose in life and the goals they wish to accomplish. They are a generation that are planting the seeds of a new identity. With their silent, yet productive revolution, they are changing the history of both sides of the border. This book compiles various testimonies of some of those voices that are coming together loudly and full of hope.
