Discussion 1.3 – Language, Immigration, Identity
Compare one of the language readings (Anzaldúa or Rodriguez) to one of the immigration readings (Nguyen or Vargas). You can also watch the videos I’ve added to the module (Anzaldúa and Rodriguez videos; Nguyen and Vargas videos) and reference these, but your post should primarily focus on the readings.
Some guiding questions:
How do the life experiences of these writers influence their identity? What external forces (i.e., ones they have no control over) affect their self-image? What role do things like language, family, home (and homeland), and/or memory play in constructing their identity?
These discussion posts are NOT meant to be a summary of the readings; assume everyone has read each piece and has a basic understanding of them, even if some parts were confusing or need some further elaboration.
