Abstract

The use of an oral history methodology to open the archives relating to the Bracero Program provides the context to decolonize institutional hierarchies related to the transnational cultural exchange and hemispheric lived realities of laborers in the Americas. This interview draws upon Chicana/Latina feminist approaches to research methodology to bring to the fore a previously undocumented voice.
