DREAMers and the Choreography of Protest tells the story of how a network of undocumented youth radicalized the immigrant rights movement in the United States. Based on interviews with lead activists, extensive archival research, and years of ethnographic study, Michael P. Young traces the key events shaping DREAMer activism from 2006 to 2014. Chronicling a sequence of escalating protests--from sit-ins to detention center infiltrations and border crossing actions--Young argues that this audacious choreography of protest inspired and shaped a social movement of and for undocumented immigrants.
