Los Intersticios: Recasting Moving Selves:
This chapter was particularly disturbing. I thought it was interesting that, although she is struggling with finding her true identity, grappling between Cuban and Iraqi, people are aiding in her confusing. In local areas, people come up to her and ask her ethnicity, and express their own personal confusion about her answer and her perceived outer appearance. Her factors that are confusing her and confuse many people in the United states is the conflict between their parents backgrounds, and the childrens' background. She is born in the United States, but her parents are not born there. I would ask the author why would her parents background effect her decisions. I would also ask what she would tell her children, and if she thinks that her kids will be conflicted by the same struggle. This shows me that there are people around the nation who struggle and fight with finding their identity.
