Language A language of the resource English Type The nature or genre of the resource oral history Abstract A summary of the resource. This is an interview between a father and daughter, where they discuss his experience of moving from Brazil to the United States when he was still in grammar school. He moved in 1971, to Garfield, New Jersey with his mother and step-dad for the economic opportunity. They talk about his struggle of moving to a country without speaking or understanding the native language. He gained friends despite the language barrier and proved himself to his peers as someone who is intelligent. Since he moved at such a young age, his view of identity and nationality never became a central idea to how he defined himself or viewed others. He found himself transcending ethnic lines and able to connect with everyone, never finding the need to seek out those within the Brazilian community. assimilation bilingual Brasil Brazil family identity language Latinx migration oral history Phenotype https://ssmp.skidmore.edu/files/original/cac5acb27735c0580181f8f8d7336ac4.png a9237ecdfa5cda0325ad06e407a9338a https://ssmp.skidmore.edu/files/original/39f49b1e9e23afffe191440f4161e38d.mp3 853a51a8514c49f1420419e1aa5630a3 Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Interview with Vilmary Fuertes Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 3/28/17 Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available HI251C: History of Latinx in the U.S. Description An account of the resource Vilmary discussed her experiences in moving from Puerto Rico to the U.S. for educational purposes, her development into becoming a physical therapist right out of college, and her assimilation into the U.S. and eventually Saratoga Springs. Language A language of the resource English Abstract A summary of the resource. Vilmary Fuertes grew up in San Juan, Puerto Rico and moved to Miami while in college to finish her education in the U.S. She went to school for physical therapy and worked incredibly hard to take classes in English, which was a language she was still learning to master. Out of college Vilmary was immediately offered a job in Physical Therapy and began working. Vilmary is now a mother of two sons and lives with her family in Saratoga Springs while continuing to practice Physical Therapy. Her husband is also Puerto Rican and together they keep Puerto Rican culture and traditions alive through holidays, language, and visits back to the island with their sons. Throughout Vilmary’s experiences in transitioning into U.S. society she has kept an optimistic perspective towards discrimination and ignorance towards her identity. Although, she has experienced many rude encounters Vilmary sees the best in people, but still holds an understanding and sympathy towards the discrimination of the Latinx population in the U.S. assimilation community culture Discrimination education family Gender identity language Latinx Proffession Puerto Rico
