ABOUT THE DATA
ABOUT THE DATA
My data come from the Nuevas Raíces (New Roots) oral history archive at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Operating in collaboration with the Southern Oral History Program and the Latino Migration Project, the archive is home to interviews with North Carolinians who, in some way or another, have advanced the integration and wellbeing of Latino immigrants inhibiting the state or are immigrants themselves. Nuevas Raíces consists of over 150 oral histories on a range of topics from religion to health to social networks. The title Nuevas Raíces signifies the way that Latino immigration to North Carolina has and continues to plant new roots for generations to come and history to be told.

The interviews that I selected to analyze center the theme of K-12 education. The majority of interviewees either work in public schools or for efforts addressing educational inequality. I chose to analyze these conversations because they provided the most intimate look at in-school practices and efforts addressing the needs of Latino families.
