Dan-el Padilla Peralta has lived the American dream. As a boy he came here legally with his family. Together they left Santo Domingo behind, but life in New York City was harder than they imagined. Their visas lapsed, and Dan-el's father returned home. But Dan-el's courageous mother was determined to make a better life for her bright sons. Undocumented is a classic story of the triumph of the human spirit. It also is the perfect cri de coeur for the debate on comprehensive immigration reform.

I enjoyed the story immensely. It was relatable in many ways despite our differences which is fine since I read memoirs to get the perspectives of people with whom I don't share certain identities. In this case, it was nationality and socioeconomic status. There are levels to being considered working class. Where I was a bit thrown was his seemingly forced colloquial storytelling. I'm all for keeping it real with how one communicates. In his case, however, it felt like he was trying to sound "street" since he grew up in the hood. When he says stuff like, I "gave him his mad props" it's cringe (for me) as it feels like he's trying to sound and be relatable. On its own, it's a dope story but I found myself being distracted at times by his attempt to sound the part of the story he was telling.

In an era when people and money are flowing fast across international boundaries, physically and virtually, culture crashes have become increasingly frequent, says international business consultant Michael Landers. A culture crash is what happens when someone unwittingly offends, frustrates or mystifies a person from a different culture. This can lead to lost business, hurt feelings, damaged relationships, even international incidents.

Good nuggets in here but the author never specifies what he means by "American culture." Defining that early on would have made for a better book.
