"Drawing upon meticulous research, Stephanie L. Canizales captures the heart-wrenching transitions and unwavering spirits of unaccompanied immigrant youth with profound empathy. Sin Padres, Ni Papeles illuminates the challenges and adaptations these young people face, offering a compelling call to reexamine our policies and attitudes toward these most vulnerable members of our society. A must-read!"--Carola Suárez-Orozco, Harvard Graduate School of Education "Canizales develops a deeply engaging portrait of her participants to provide a sobering account of the lives of unaccompanied Central American minors who are aging into adulthood without the support of parent-led households or K-12 schools. Sin Padres, Ni Papeles will soon become a staple in the field of undocumented migration."--Laura E. Enriquez, author of Of Love and Papers: How Immigration Policy Affects Romance and Family "The depth of this research is impressive. Canizales has clearly taken the time necessary to gain access to this community and presents an intimate portrait of their experiences, while offering critical theoretical interventions. The empathy the author has for these young people is palpable, avoiding the sometimes sterile gaze that much of the research on immigrant integration can adopt."--Shannon Gleeson, Cornell University School of Industrial and Labor Relations "Based on years of rigorous research, Canizales offers a close-up view into the material and socio-emotional challenges facing a group that has remained invisible to most scholars and journalists: undocumented youth who live and work in the United States without the presence or protection of parents. These youth navigate labor exploitation, poverty, and personal grief, but their own creativity allows them to forge dual transitions into young adulthood and incorporation as working-class residents of urban California. Written with passion and precision, this pathbreaking book is a must-read for students and scholars, as well as policymakers and legislators."--Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo, coauthor of South Central Dreams: Finding Home and Community in South L.A.
