One World Café interviews Adriana Pàramo, the winner of this year’s Social Justice and Equity Award in Creative Nonfiction
(from the accompanying article)
In Looking for Esperanza, Adriana shows us a side of immigration that we don´t usually see. She tells the story from the perspective of women—desperate women, plagued by uncertainty—trying to do their best to support their children, who have a simple plan: make money and go back home as soon as they can. The book suggests that as much as Adriana loves the USA, her research has led her to realize that her adopted homeland is not as fair or as just as we would like to think it is.
