Windows/Ventanas: A postmodern re-presentation of children in migrancy

Living among us -citizens like ourselves- are migrant families who are dedicated to hard work, a strong commitment to the family, deep spirituality, and the critical importance of education for their ninos (children). ... However, these fellow human beings are paid unbelievably low wages, especially given that even the children have to work for the family to barely get by. Families are housed in substandard structures, often treated as slightly above slaves ..., callously exposed to poisonous farm chemicals, and commonly mistreated by the educational system. Because the authors do not believe it is possible to accurately represent the complexity of these people, they offer a multivocal montage ... of words and images focused on migrants and migrancy.
