In Learning to Lead, Jennifer R. NÁjera explores the intersections of education and activism among undocumented students at the University of California, Riverside. Taking an expansive view of education, NÁjera shows how students’ experiences in college-both in and out of the classroom-can affect their activism and advocacy work. Students learn from their families, communities, peers, and student and political organizations. In these different spaces, they learn how to navigate community and college life as undocumented people. Students are able to engage campus organizations where they can cultivate their leadership skills and-importantly-learn that they are not alone. These students embody and mobilize their education through both large and small political actions such as protests, workshops for financial aid applications, and Know Your Rights events. As students create community with each other, they come to understand that their individual experiences of illegality are part of a larger structure of legal violence. This type of education empowers students to make their way to and through college, change their communities, and ultimately assert their humanity.
