Abstract | Angelica moved to Chapel Hill, North Carolina from Mexico City in 2006. She lives in Chapel Hill with her husband and son, but is also surrounded by a wider network of family that includes uncles, aunts and siblings. She is employed at two restaurants in Chapel Hill, but due to her limited knowledge of English she works mainly in the kitchen. In the interview, Angelica discusses her education in Mexico and how the Mexican education system compares to that of the United States. She also talks about the social environment in Chapel Hill and how it differs from life in Mexico City. |
