They grow up here, going to elementary, middle, and high school, and then the country they call home won't--in most states--offer financial aid for college and they're unable to be legally employed. In 2001, US senator Dick Durbin introduced the DREAM Act to Congress, an initiative that would allow these young people to become legal residents if they met certain requirements. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e And now, more than ten years later, in the face of congressional inertia and furious opposition from some, the DREAM Act has yet to be passed. But recently, this young generation has begun organizing, and with their rallying cry \"Undocumented, Unapologetic, and Unafraid\" they are the newest face of the human rights movement. In \u003ci\u003eDreamers\u003c\/i\u003e, Eileen Truax illuminates the stories of these men and women who are living proof of a complex and sometimes hidden political reality that calls into question what it truly means to be American.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Eileen Truax\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0807030333\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780807030332\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Beacon Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.80w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2015 pg. 118\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/15\/2015 pg. 8","brand":"Eileen Truax","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45896482914559,"sku":"9780807030332","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_48c69543-03ba-422e-94cc-9cecd240e8a9.jpg?v=1721371518","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dreamers-eileen-truax-9780807030332","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
