Migrant Daughter: Coming of Age as a Mexican American Woman Paperback - 2000
by Tywoniak, Frances Esquibel; García, Mario T
From the rear cover
Taking us from the open spaces of rural New Mexico and the fields of California's Great Central Valley to the intellectual milieu of student life in Berkeley during the fifties, this memoir, based on an oral history by Mario T. Garcia, is the powerful and moving testimonio of a young Mexican American woman's struggle to rise out of poverty. Migrant Daughter is the coming-of-age story of Frances Esquibel Tywoniak, who was born in Spanish-speaking New Mexico, moved with her family to California during the depression to attend school and work as a farm laborer, and subsequently won a university scholarship, becoming one of the few Mexican Americans to attend the University of California, Berkeley, at that time.
In addition to the fascinating details of everyday life the narrative provides, Mario Garcia's introduction contextualizes the importance of Tywoniak's life. Both introduction and narrative illustrate the process by which Tywoniak negotiated her relation to ethnic identity and cultural allegiances, the ways in which she came to find education as a means of breaking with fieldwork patterns of life, and the effect of migration on family and culture. This deeply personal memoir portrays a courageous Mexican American woman moving among many cultural worlds, a life story that at times parallels, and at times diverges from, the experiences of thousands of other, unnamed women.
