Book Description
The year 2020 will go down in history as the one that changed our lives. Everyone suffered during the pandemic crisis, many lives were lost, some too close to us, and families experienced chronic sadness in their shared struggle. People immersed in their own sorrows and sometimes forgot about the loved ones besides them, especially the young ones. De Aquí y de Allá: The Twins is a testament on focusing on the good around us in the face of adversity. Julián and Ana Marie, the beloved Venezuelan- Puerto Rican twins of Arepas y Piononos, turned four years old in the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The illusion of having a birthday party never vanished because their mom promised them two surprises despite social distancing guidelines. The book is written in both English and Spanish for beginner readers and showcases how creativity in challenging times can bring family and friends together no matter how far they live. The book’s colorful illustrations are conversation starters about places in the world, its flags, how to overcome the distance imposed by a pandemic and share the love.

Pages : 259
Book Description
Aquí and Allá: Transnational Dominican Theater and Performance explores how contemporary Dominican theater and performance artists portray a sense of collective belonging shaped by the transnational connections between the homeland and the diaspora. Through close readings of plays and performances produced in the Dominican Republic and the United States in dialogue with theories of theater and performance, migration theory, and literary, cultural, and historical studies, this book situates theater and performance in debates on Dominican history and culture and the impact of migration on the changing character of national identity from end of the twentieth century to the present. By addressing local audiences of island-based and diasporic Dominicans with stories of characters who are shaped by both places, the theatrical performances analyzed in this book operate as a democratizing force on conceptions of Dominican identity and challenge assumptions about citizenship and national belonging. Likewise, the artists’ bi-national perspectives and work methods challenge the paradigms that have traditionally framed Latin(o) American theater studies.

Mexican Migration to the United States
Author: Harriett D. Romo
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 1477309020
Category : Social Science
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Borderlands migration has been the subject of considerable study, but the authorship has usually reflected a north-of-the-border perspective only. Gathering a transnational group of prominent researchers, including leading Mexican scholars whose work is not readily available in the United States and academics from US universities, Mexican Migration to the United States brings together an array of often-overlooked viewpoints, reflecting the interconnectedness of immigration policy. This collection’s research, principally empirical, reveals significant aspects of labor markets, family life, and educational processes. Presenting recent data and accessible explanations of complex histories, the essays capture the evolving legal frameworks and economic implications of Mexico-US migrations at the national and municipal levels, as well as the experiences of receiving communities in the United States. The volume includes illuminating reports on populations ranging from undocumented young adults to elite Mexican women immigrants, health-care rights, Mexico’s incorporation of return migration, the impact of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals on higher education, and the experiences of young children returning to Mexican schools after living in the United States. Reflecting a multidisciplinary approach, the list of contributors includes anthropologists, demographers, economists, educators, policy analysts, and sociologists. Underscoring the fact that Mexican migration to the United States is unique and complex, this timely work exemplifies the cross-border collaboration crucial to the development of immigration policies that serve people in both countries.
