Abstract | Hannah Jessen's interviews are a study of the lives of the mothers of migration, specifically the relationship between mother and child, the ways they support their families in a new context, the new concerns that come with raising their children in a different country, and their hopes for their families and for themselves in the future. In this interview with Lucia, Jessen hears from a migrant mother who was planning neither on coming to the United States, nor having children. However, her life was changed when she met her American husband while he was backpacking through her native Colombia. Now she is in the United States, studying to be a social worker at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and raising their four-year-old son. She is a non-conventional Colombian woman who offered a unique perspective on bilingualism and biculturalism, as well as on the reasons for migrating. |
