About this title

Review

"Joyce Lackie, through recording and sharing Viviana's story, makes accessible to us what it meant to be a Mexican American migrant woman in the twentieth century. Salguero's recollections, like ours, are shaped by social as well as personal memory, and Lackie does an admirable job of contextualizing Viviana's stories in time, place, and culture."--Lois E. Myers, co-editor of History of Oral History: Foundations and Methodology

"Viviana's story has much to offer readers interested in immigrant and women's history; her life story is a fascinating, mostly cautionary tale of the Mexican immigrant experience in postwar America."--The Oral History Review

"Lackie did prodigious research into twentieth-century Mexican and US Southwest history, and delved into multiple Mexican-American memoirs to give context to the Salguero family's struggles."--The Journal of Arizona History
