Summary

Ahora para jóvenes lectores, la periodista ganadora de cuatro premios Emmy y presentadora de Latino USA de NPR, María Hinojosa, cuenta la historia de la inmigración en los Estados Unidos a través de las experiencias de su familia y décadas de hacer reportajes, con lo cual crea un retrato de un país en crisis.

María Hinojosa es una periodista ganadora de premios Emmy y la primera latina en fundar una redacción independiente sin fines de lucro en los Estados Unidos. Pero, antes de todo eso, fue una niña con una gran melena y sueños aún más grandes. Nacida en México y criada en el vibrante barrio de Hyde Park, en Chicago, María siempre buscó la forma de comprender mejor el mundo que la rodeaba… y la manera de encajar en él. En este libro combina historias de su vida, desde la imborrable experiencia de pertenecer a una familia de inmigrantes hasta el momento en que escuchó su propia voz en radio nacional por primera vez, ofreciendo sus observaciones y percepciones sobre la larga y complicada relación entre los Estados Unidos y sus inmigrantes. Divertida, franca y colmada de sabiduría, la historia de María es una que querrás leer una y otra vez, y su voz te inspirará a encontrar la tuya.

Maria Hinojosa’s nearly thirty-year career as a journalist includes reporting for PBS, CBS, WGBH, WNBC, CNN, NPR, and anchoring and executive producing the Peabody Award–winning show Latino USA, the longest running national Latinx news program in the country, distributed by PRX. She is a frequent guest on MSNBC, and has won several awards, including four Emmys, the Studs Terkel Community Media Award, two Robert F. Kennedy Awards, the Edward R.
