520    "The movement of people--what Americans call 'immigration'
       and the rest of the world calls 'migration'--is among the 
       defining issues of our time. Technology and information 
       crosses countries and continents at blistering speed. 
       Corporations thrive on being multinational and polyglot. 
       Yet the world's estimated 244 million total migrant 
       population, particularly those deemed 'illegal' by 
       countries and societies, are locked in a chaotic and 
       circular debate about borders and documents, assimilation 
       and identity. An issue about movement seems immovable: 
       politically, culturally and personally. Dear America: 
       Notes Of An Undocumented Citizen is an urgent, provocative
       and deeply personal account from Jose Antonio Vargas, a 
       Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who happens to be the 
       most well-known undocumented immigrant in the United 
       States. Born in the Philippines and brought to the U.S. 
       illegally as a 12-year-old, Vargas hid in plain-sight for 
       years, writing for some of the most prestigious news 
       organizations in the country (The Washington Post, The New
       Yorker) while lying about where he came from and how he 
       got here. After publicly admitting his undocumented status
       --risking his career and personal safety--Vargas has 
       challenged the definition of what it means to be an 
       American, and has advocated for the human rights of 
       immigrants and migrants during the largest global movement
       of people in modern history. Both a letter to America and 
       a window into Vargas's America, this book is a 
       transformative argument about migration and citizenship, 
       and an intimate, searing exploration on what it means to 
       be home when the country you call your home doesn't 
       consider you one of its own"--|cProvided by publisher.
