    • Abstract:
      At one point, Cornejo Villavicencio makes explicit the weight of her relationship with her subjects: "I try to solve shit the way an immigrant's kids try to solve shit for their parent because these people are all my parents, I am their child, if I wasn't their child - and I was their child - I should be patented and mass-produced and distributed to undocumented immigrants at Walmarts. As a child of undocumented immigrants herself, Cornejo Villavicencio can experiment in this fashion with some authority. BOOKS & the ARTS IN HER INTRODUCTION TO THE UNDOCUMENTED AMERIcans, Karla Cornejo Villavicencio reveals that some names and physical descriptions have been changed to protect the vulnerable. Cornejo Villavicencio didn't need to be artful about Lilliana, a Flint grandmother diagnosed with breast cancer. [Extracted from the article]
