Jacket design by Raquel Jaramillo. keywords: Latin America Mexico History America. DESCRIPTION - In MEXICAN VOICES/AMERICAN DREAMS, the roots of the Mexican-American people are revealed. The real motivations, the struggle, the survival, and the success of the Mexican immigrant form a rich and sweeping saga that embraces the full spectrum of human experience and is an important chapter in the cultural legacy of North America. For the first time, in this notable oral history, the migrants, their families, friends, employers, and descendants re-create in their own words the entire immigration story. Some of the more than ninety diverse voices you will encounter here are those of a retired secretary in Albuquerque who as a child emigrated with her family in 1917, a ninety-two-year-old farmer who emigrated in 1927 and returned to Mexico several years later, a second-generation marketing director in San Francisco, and a third-generation disc jockey in Muscatine, Iowa. All tell of the particular roles they have played in the immigration experience, revealing their innermost thoughts and feelings, the reasons they came, the risks they took, the effect on family life, the dreams versus the reality, and their hopes and plans for the future. MEXICAN VOICES/AMERICAN DREAMS brings the reader to a closer understanding and appreciation of the unique heritage of the Mexican people and its impact on life in the United States. 'A captivating study which brings forth the diversity of voices and the human element of Mexican immigration to the United States. An important, innovative, and essential addition to the scholarly literature on the United States-Mexican border.' - Dr. David R. Macid, Department of Media Art and Center for Mexican-American Studies, University of Arizona. Marilyn Davis, a student of cultural anthropology and a magna cum laude graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, went to live in a small pueblo of western Mexico seventeen years ago with her two young sons. As she became accepted in the closed society, the personal warmth of the people and their rich traditions held her fast. She returned year after year and over time has become godmother to twenty-five children, comadre to their parents, and a teacher of seventh, eighth, and ninth grades in the village school. These relationships provided her with a vast network of people whose story begins at the very roots of the migration from Mexico. The author lives with her husband in California and Mexico, where she is completing a major study of a traditional people moving into the twentieth century. inventory #14693.
