must-have ! The Struggles of Identity, Education, and Agency in the Lives of Undocumented...

The Struggles of Identity, Education, and Agency in the Lives of Undocumented Students by Aurora Chang is an academic exploration of the challenges faced by undocumented students in the U.S. Through a mix of personal narrative, scholarly analysis, and real-life experiences, Chang examines how these students navigate their identities, educational aspirations, and agency in a system that often marginalizes them.

The book highlights how undocumented status impacts self-perception, academic success, and access to opportunities, while also discussing the resilience and activism of students advocating for their rights. It provides insight into immigration policies, educational inequalities, and the psychological effects of living without legal status. While not a traditional textbook, it is frequently used in courses on education, immigration, and social justice.
