One Latina Breaking The Language Barrier - Paperback

by Alice O. Carrillo (Author)

One Latina Breaking The Language Barrier is a tribute to migrant workers who have been able to get out of poverty. This book has great stories to tell with heartwarming true tales from great women that suffered as migrant workers in the fields. Alice shares poems she wrote when she was a youth working in the fields. She writes about learning in an all English classroom. "The emotional abuse we encountered and how we overcame it and were able to attend college, becoming a professional in our area of expertise is the key to reaching success". However she points out that schools should be more sensitive toward Hispanics instructors and students. She closes the book with a short story her sister wrote during college years about the beginning of their journey as children who followed the sun.
