Structured around the forty questions volunteer worker Valeria Luiselli translates from a court system form and asks undocumented Latin American children facing deportation, Tell Me How It Ends humanizes these young migrants and highlights the contradiction between the idea of America as a fiction for immigrants and the reality of racism and fear—here and back home.
In this slim volume about the spectacular failure of the American Dream, she tells the stories of the unnamed children she's encountered and their fears and desires, as well as her own family's immigration story.
Tell Me How It Ends examines a system that has failed child refugees in particular. It masterfully blends journalism, auto/biography, and political history into a compelling and cohesive narrative. Luiselli uses the personal to get political but smartly sidesteps identity politics to focus on policy instead.
