Joanna Dreby:
Drawings by Mexican Children |
| The images below are drawings by Mexican children
who have family members living in the US. These drawings
were collected by Joanna Dreby (CUNY) when she conducted research
with Mexican school students on their perception of the U.S.
and migration. The project was carried out in January
2006 and was funded by the Graduate Research Grants Program
of the City University of New York Graduate Center. |
