| Abstract |
In a picture book that describes the long-forgotten chapter of US history known as Mexican Repatriation, a boy and his family leave their beloved home to avoid being separated by the government. Faced with the prospect of being separated from each other, a young boy and his family make the difficult decision to leave their home and begin a journey filled with uncertainty. On the road, they meet other people like them. Families with deep roots tied to the land. Others that helped build the railroads. Some were shop owners and factory workers. Each with similar hopes and dreams. Historians estimate that between 1930 and 1940, two million people living in the United States were forcibly removed and sent to live in Mexico. Telling this story from a child's perspective, the author lyrically recounts this often-overlooked period of United States history - Mexican Repatriation. Emotive illustrations convey this poignant tale of longing for home and permanence, which reflects many of the dreams and hopes of all people. |
