“Mamá Cuéntame Porqué Viniste!” scaffolds the telling of the story of why a Latinoamerican mother would take on the journey of migration. In a colorful, heartfelt and developmentally sensitive way this book helps mothers to tell their young children about their origins, their dreams and how their unconditional love brought them to the United States in the hopes of creating the life of safety, peace, promise and abundance any parent would want to give to his child. This book explores the psychological themes and experiences of immigrant mothers introduced by the author in her first book, “Mamá Cuéntame Porqué Viniste!”

I have worked with Latino-American immigrant mothers and their youngsters for over fifteen years. A heartbreaking but not unexpected discovery as an infant-parent psychotherapist is that these mothers, who have often arrived here under the most adverse circumstances, do not have a way to tell their children about the hopes that drove their very difficult journey. This cuento creates a dialogue that helps mothers remember and embrace where they came from and the effort it took. Most importantly, it helps mothers tell their children about their untold stories.

This charming book reveals to children and adults alike one of the best kept secrets in the world: what are mothers made of and what is their magical source of power, love and energy? How come mothers are so great? Is it possible that the love of the mother is the one that keeps the Universe alive? Take your child in your arms and start together on a journey that neither you nor your child will ever forget: the childhood of the mother, her encounter with her husband, their desire to create someone better than the two of them together, the love-filled pregnancy, the birth with effort and hope, the invisible thread that binds any child to his mother, which grows and envelops everything even when the mother is tired, nervous or away. This book is undoubtedly the best book for children written by Ioana Chicet-Macoveiciuc and the best in the Unicorn collection. Diana Crupenschi, Editor Univers

This volume presents both an analysis of how identities are built, represented and negotiated in narrative, as well as a theoretical reflection on the links between narrative discourse and identity construction. The data for the book are Mexican immigrants' personal experience narratives and chronicles of their border crossings into the United States. Embracing a view of identity as a construct firmly grounded in discourse and interaction, the author examines and illustrates the multiple threads that connect the local expression and negotiation of identity to the wider social contexts that frame the experience of migration, from material conditions of life in the United States to mainstream discourses about race and color. The analysis reveals how identities emerge in discourse through the interplay of different levels of expression, from implicit adherence to narrative styles and ways of telling, to explicit negotiation of membership categories.

Entrepreneurial Selves is an ethnography of neoliberalism. Bridging political economy and affect studies, Carla Freeman turns a spotlight on the entrepreneur, a figure saluted across the globe as the very embodiment of neoliberalism. Steeped in more than a decade of ethnography on the emergent entrepreneurial middle class of Barbados, she finds dramatic reworkings of selfhood, intimacy, labor, and life amid the rumbling effects of political-economic restructuring. She shows us that the déjà vu of neoliberalism, the global hailing of entrepreneurial flexibility and its concomitant project of self-making, can only be grasped through the thickness of cultural specificity where its costs and pleasures are unevenly felt. Freeman theorizes postcolonial neoliberalism by reimagining the Caribbean cultural model of 'reputation-respectability.' This remarkable book will allow readers to see how the material social practices formerly associated with resistance to capitalism (reputation) are being mobilized in ways that sustain neoliberal precepts and, in so doing, re-map class, race, and gender through a new emotional economy.
