Reflect on how national tragedies are typically memorialized and analyze how Karla Cornejo Villavicencio tells a different history of 9/11 and remembers its impact on a different set of people in The Undocumented Americans. You might consider, for example, how Cornejo Villavicencio describes the undocumented immigrants she interviews, how she draws on translation, why she interweaves her own personal family history into the narrative, why she centers physical and mental illness in the narrative, or how she makes visible the stories of undocumented deliverymen who were disappeared from official history and list of 9/11 victims.
