Abstract
This chapter includes powerful testimoninos in Spanish and English of the history and impact of immigration on individual and familial levels. Framed from the perspective of different family members, the authors share their migration experience to the U.S. South between 1980 and 1990. Topics of pre-migration, acculturation, trauma, the impact of post-migration experiences, and psychological growth are addressed from the perspective of first-generation Mexican immigrants and children of immigrants. The chapter also provides recommendations for mental health providers as they assess and conceptualize Latinx immigrant communities in the U.S. South.
