Abstract | Isabel Hernandez was born in Venezuela and lived there for four years before moving to the United States. Her father entered graduate school in Chicago, Illinois so the family lived in Chicago for four years before moving to North Carolina. In this interview, Hernandez discusses her experiences in the United States and the opportunities that have been available to her and other Latinos. Hernandez also talks about her feelings as a Venezuelan living in the United States and how she identifies more with her Venezuelan heritage than her American upbringing. Despite this, Hernandez does not intend to live permanently in Venezuela again. |
