Recently, I traveled through the Texas border towns that are along the Rio Grande Valley. Places like Brownsville, San Benito, Harlingen, McAllen, and Victoria have served as navigational stopping points for many, like my migrant farming grandparents. Each stopping point plays an essential role in personal and social transformation.
This work is about a state of migration — about movement, location, and identity. It poses questions related to the liminality of migration; what does it mean to experience and exist between two cultural spaces? How is the ethnic identity of second and third generations shaped by the experiences of their immigrant parents? How do all the ambiguity and uncertainty affect self-identity and cultural identity?
