by Ellen Frankenstein
Manuela and Ben Aparicio, sister and brother, brought by their parents in
search of a betterfuture, arrived in the United States from a rural village
in Mexico to an ethnically divided
community in California. Twenty years later, they share their stories of
dislocation and their determination to succeed. They sensitively portray
their struggles to learn English, resist efforts to be pushed into
vocational programs, go on to universities, and help other immigrants
achieve and
find balance in the changing demographics of American society. Their story
of claiminga place poses critical questions about identity, adaptation and
survival in a multicultural world.
