Description
This interview revolves around the storied life and varied experiences Esther Ambriz had growing up in Riverside, California. Topics discussed include immigration, deportation, the earnest yet still difficult pursuit of higher education for Latinos, and discrimination. There is an emphasis on triumph and pride in the interview on the part of Esther, who raised an accomplished, educated family with little resources or privilege at her immediate disposal. Her family was first spurred to move to the U.S.due to the violence enrapturing Mexico during yet another one of its many revolutions, as well as perceived economic opportunities present in the U.S.
