Dear America

Jose Antonio Vargas, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, offers a deeply personal and provocative account of his life as an undocumented immigrant in the United States. Born in the Philippines and brought to the U.S. at age 12, Vargas spent years hiding his status while working for prestigious news organizations. After publicly revealing his undocumented status, he has become a prominent advocate for immigrant rights, challenging the very definition of what it means to be an American. This book serves as both a letter to America and a window into Vargas's unique perspective on identity and belonging.
