Windham-Campbell Prize Talk | Children of Migrations
From the Windrush Generation in the United Kingdom to the Great Migration in the United States, the story of migration and its effect on families and culture was as significant a story in the last century as it is in this one. Alicia Schmidt Camacho engages four “children” of migrations about how this story has impacted their lives and their work.
Alicia Schmidt Camacho is a migration scholar, with a focus on migrant led social movements in North America. She teaches in the Ethnicity, Race, and Migration Program at Yale University.
