Professor Carlos Gil has taught Latin American history at the University of Washington for over thirty years. His memoir, We Became Mexican-American: How Our Immigrant Family Survived to Pursue the American Dream, explores the humans stories of Mexican immigration by tracing his own family’s history from the 1920s to the 1970s. In the process of researching and writing the book, Gil discovered the excitement, culture shock, inter-family conflict, and questions of identity that many immigrants face when seeking a better life in another country.
