摘要
This essay focuses on Alberto Ledesma's Diary of an Undocumented Dreamer. Undocumented Vignettes from a Pre-American Life (2017). Ledesma's graphic autobiography vividly illustrates his struggles to do justice to his story as, at some point in his life, an undocumented person while also presenting the story of undocumented students. This oscillation between singularity and the claim for broader representation is fully engaged in the Diary and constitutes one of its most important contributions, politically and culturally.
