Abstract

This work is a collaboration between the researcher and four undocumented young people: two college students and two recent college graduates. The centerpiece of the collection consists of the testimonios of the narrators in which they tell their stories of being undocumented in the United States. These are preceded by a study of U.S. immigration policy and literary critical accounts of the genre of testimonio. They are succeeded by reflections on the testimonios, the importance of collaborative research, and how the project transformed the researcher’s understanding of both the political and academic work. The study concludes that in such academic research the product should be modeled to serve the goals of its participants who represent a community outside of the academy, rather than those of academic experts alone.
