Judy Yung's "Unbound Voices" And Vicki L. Ruiz's "From Out Of The Shadows": Cultural Assimilation
[ send me this essay ]
9 pages in length. A collection of personal essays in Judy Yung's Unbound Voices and an account of civil rights issues in Vicki L. Ruiz's From Out of the Shadows effectively illustrates how each author is quite successful at telling tales of cultural struggle, immigration, racism & discrimination and the inherent commitment that accompanies assimilation. In portraying the characterization of these various bonds and relationships, the authors' quintessential components draw together the very basic qualities that exist within the confines of Mexican-American and Asian-American cultures. While there are, indeed, a handful of similarities with regard to the two very diverse concepts of conventional culture and mainstreaming into another, each author illustrates how there exist many more differences that serve to cause friction in direct relation to respect for one's natural heritage, with particular focus upon women. No additional sources cited.
