Les mer The Immigrant Perspective

"Where are you really from?" It's a simple question with a complicated answer. The Immigrant Perspective is a podcast dedicated to the voices of those who live between two worlds - exploring the nostalgia, the culture shock, and the triumphs of the migration journey. We move past the small talk and dive into the rich, messy tapestry of what it means to find home in a new land.

Episode 7: We Were Told We Were Going to Disneyland

Laura Contreras-Alanis arrived in the United States in 1974 - a little girl from Michoacán, Mexico, told she was going to Disneyland. What followed was anything but a fairy tale: migrant farm work in Central California, multiple moves as a teenager, dropping out of high school, a painful estrangement from her family, and eventually - decades later - a U-Haul headed to Knoxville, Tennessee, with five kids, a terrified-of-flying husband, and a grandmother's passing along the way. In this conversation, Laura shares the full arc: the privileged childhood in Mexico where everyone knew her name, the culture shock of apartment life in California, the years she spent deliberately distancing herself from her Mexican identity as a form of self-protection, and the slow, tender return to her roots. She talks about the "un trastorno princesa" her sister teases her about, the brother who simply got out of the car in Knoxville one day and never went back to California, and what it means to become a citizen by choice - not by default. Laura is warm, funny, and searingly honest. This one stays with you.

Episode 5: Finding Shelter in Sound: Horacio’s Story

Horacio grew up in Sonsonate, El Salvador during a civil war. When his mother left for the US in 1981, he was six years old, and he wouldn't live with her again for eleven years. In the silence she left behind, he found the Beatles. In this episode, Horacio shares how music became his refuge, what it was like to land in Miami as a teenager who didn't speak English, the surprising prejudice he encountered from other Hispanic immigrants, and how he eventually built a life in Atlanta with his American wife and twin daughters, named Sadie and Eleanor, after Beatles songs. Horacio's memoir, Finding Shelter in Sound, is available now. You can find him on Instagram at findingshelterinsound. Have a story to share?

Liker at det er både Podcaster (godt utvalg) og lydbøker i samme app, pluss at man kan holde Podcaster og lydbøker atskilt i biblioteket.
Bra app. Oversiktlig og ryddig. MYE bra innhold⭐️⭐️⭐️
