In this hybrid memoir, Alberto Ledesma wonders, At what point does a longtime undocumented immigrant become an American in the making? From undocumented little boy to hyper documented university professor, Ledesma recounts how even now, he sometimes finds himself reverting to the child he was, recalling his fathers words: Mijo, it doesnt matter how good you think your English is, la migra will still get you. Exploring Ledesmas experiences from immigrant to student to academic, Diary of a Reluctant Dreamer presents a humorous, gritty, and multilayered portrait of undocumented immigrant life in urban America. Ledesmas vignettes about life in the midst of ongoing social trauma give voice to a generation that has long been silent about its struggles. Delving into the key moments of cultural transition throughout his childhood and adulthoodpolice at the back door waiting to deport his family, the exgirlfriend who threatens to call INS and report him, and the interactions with law enforcement even after he is no longer undocumentedLedesma, through his art and his words, provides a glimpse into the psychological and philosophical concerns of undocumented immigrant youth who struggle to pinpoint their identity and community.
