Abstract | This interview is part of Hannah Jessen's investigation into the lives of the mothers of migration. Jessen is studying the relationship between mother and child, the ways mothers learn to support their families in a new context, the concerns that come with raising their children in a different country, and their hopes for their families and for themselves in the future. For this interview, Jessen sought to gain the perspective of a 1.5 generation immigrant who came here with her family at a young age. Because of the migration experience, Valentina Rivadeneira naturally dealt with changes in her relationship with her mother, and this interview reveals the ways in which those changes were different and similar from other migrant children. Rivadeneira talks about how her mother still tried to raise her children with an awareness and pride of their Ecuadorian culture. Rivadeneira compares her experience to that of her little sister, who has no memories of Ecuador. She also compares the experience to families who do not believe in God and to families who do not stay together during the migration experience. Lastly, Rivadeneira wants to someday have children of her own, and so this interview serves to show what cultural values from her native country she will try to instill into a second generation. |
