<P>The history of the United States in large part is the history of immigration, an immigration of working-class peoples. Usually documented by sociologists, economists and other social scientists, the history becomes sanitized, devoid of the sweat, toil, and tears that make up the stories of real people. Here is an authentic, unexpected document from the very hands of a laborer whose trials have been even more burdensome due to his illegal status. This memoir, the author’s first book, is written in a style that makes his and his compatriots’ stories even more poignant, more touching, and more absurd given the nature of American politics and immigration policy. This is the true story—not the type of sensational report one might find in the news media—of an undocumented immigrant worker. Here is his odyssey through the United States, his endless trail of menial jobs, his indignities, his humor and his optimism. Perhaps this will shed light on the often-obscured experiences of the intelligent, persevering, hard-working human beings we take for granted as they wait our tables, clean our houses, and pick our fruits and vegetables. This is their story.</P>
