Abrego and Genevieve Negrón-Gonzales discuss the book's intervention with contributors Katy Joseline Maldonado Dominguez, Maria Liliana Ramirez, and Carolina Valdivia, especially their collective critique of the "DREAMer narrative," the ethics of producing a book by and about Undocumented and formerly-Undocumented people, and the importance of community.
