Amid the flurry of debates about immigration, poverty, and
education in the United States, the stories in Mi Voz, Mi Vida
allow us to reflect on how young people who might be most affected
by the results of these debates actually navigate through American
society.
The fifteen Latino college students who tell their stories in
this book come from a variety of socioeconomic, regional, and
family backgrounds they are young men and women of Mexican, Puerto
Rican, Cuban, Dominican, Central American, and South American
descent. Their insights are both balanced and frank, blending
personal, anecdotal, political, and cultural viewpoints. Their
engaging stories detail the students' personal struggles with
issues such as identity and biculturalism, family dynamics,
religion, poverty, stereotypes, and the value of education.
Throughout, they provide insights into issues of racial identity
in contemporary America among a minority population that is very
much in the news. This book gives educators, students, and their
families a clear view of the experience of Latino students adapting
to a challenging educational environment and a cultural context
Dartmouth College often very different from their childhood
ones."
