Cultural Identity and School Experiences in Chicago
Quotes about West Side Story:
Got to Chicago, got to this high school. People actually sang the song from West Side Story, “Puerto Rico, my heart’s devotion, let it sink into the ocean,” at me in the halls of the school. I thought I was privileged to come from where I came from. It was made clear to me very quickly that it was an embarrassing thing I shouldn’t talk about, and I saw the distinction between the children of South American engineers and the daughter of a working-class Puerto Rican woman. I hated being in school.
