As the United States becomes ever more comfortable with recognizing the cultural diversity of the many groups that make up its population, library services must seek to meet patrons' needs as they are shaped and expressed by their cultural backgrounds. This goal is particularly important for youth library services. For young people of Hispanic heritage, library services attuned to their specific needs and interests are crucial. Many librarians struggle with how to properly create and maintain library programs and collections that are suitable to the needs of Hispanic youth. In this series of essays prepared for the Trejo Foster Foundation for Hispanic Library Education Fourth National Institute, national leaders in librarianship present their insights about how best to meet the needs of young Hispanic library patrons. The text is introduced by the editors, and the essays are arranged in parts: Programs; Collections; Planning and Evaluating; Bibliographical Resources; and For the Future. Information about the contributors and an index conclude the volume.
It was never Toño's plan to leave El Salvador behind. Toño has spent his entire life rising hours before dawn to feed the animals and mind the farm of his father Jose Angel. He wants nothing more than a plot of land and a farm of his own. And he knows exactly how to get it: make his way across the Mexican border to the United States of America, where he'll earn enough money to help his family and himself. It's like Jose Angel says the day Toño leaves: "You always have a home to come back to." But the year is 1979. And the Salvadoran Civil War is about to begin. Now Toño is working under the table for jewelers and roofers and cohabitating with his fellow immigrants, working every moment he can to secure his plans. He's searching for a woman who might help him start his own family in El Salvador, and abandoning those who won't sacrifice their dreams for his-all the while ignoring his father's warnings of the chaos back home. What happens when a dream disappears? In uncertain circumstances in an unfamiliar country, can you find another life to fight for? Marcos Antonio Hernandez's The Education of a Wetback is a moving story of the haphazard, unexpected search for the American dream.
