Part One: TRAPPED IN THE SHADOWS

 

Our guest today is Professor Hirokazu Yoshikawa, who for more than 3 years, along with his colleagues, chronicled the everyday mix of fear, stress, and uncertainty that so often defines what it means to be undocumented in the United States. The results of this research can be found in his latest book Immigrants Raising Citizens: Undocumented Parents and Their Children.  Join us today as we speak with Hirokazu Yoshikawa about an often overlooked effect that our unwieldy immigration policy has on families, society, and children.

 

 

Part Two: TRAPPED IN THE SHADOWS  

What effect does immigration have on child development and education? Hirokazu Yoshikawa's latest book, Immigrants Raising Citizens: Undocumented Parents and Their Children, goes into great depth describing the daily disadvantages faced by these "citizen children" and we've been speaking with him about some of his findings and the remarkable experience of getting to know these families as part of writing his book.
