Memories of Salvadoran Migration

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Anastario investigates the social memories of rural Salvadorans from an area that was heavily impacted by the Salvadoran Civil War, which fueled a mass exodus to the U.S. By working with travelers who exchanged parcels containing food, medicine, photographs and letters, Anastario tells the story behind parcels and illuminates their larger cultural and structural significance.
