Life Cycles: Reflections of Change and A New Hope for Future Generations examines the personal histories of immigrant and migrant farm worker families that settled in the colonias of Coachella Valley, California. With the help of a grant from the California Council For The Humanities, multimedia artist, Jacalyn Lopez Garcia follows the progress of seven migrant families to create a photographic document of their involvement in the changing Californian social landscape. This multimedia documentary project focuses on the personal stories of struggle and accomplishments of families, students, and members of the growing Colonia communities located in the Southeastern deserts of California.
Jacalyn Lopez Garcia's photographic series reveals the harsh realities of desert living and critically examines the relationship between some of the "past" and "present" outside improvement strategies on the lifestyles of Colonia residents. The dream of economic independence and a better life draws immigrants and migrants to these Colonias, but they often survive in harsh living conditions that make day-to-day life a full-time job. To bring further clarity and a new level of understanding to this documentary series, researchers (including Garcia herself) conducted interviews with the Colonia residents to document their life experiences. The results of this portion of the documentary project, as well as the photographs, and her video collection "Cultural Crossings" have been incorporated into an interactive website that will be released on the CMP webserver accessible at http://www.cmp.ucr.edu beginning January 21st.

- As is the case for most professional reviewers, many of the books I review on this site have been provided by the publisher or author, at no cost to me. I've also reviewed books that I bought, because they were worthy of your time. And I've also received dozens of review copies at no charge that do not get reviewed, either because they are not worthy or because they don't meet the subject criteria for this column, or simply because I haven't gotten around to them yet, since I only review one book per month. I have far more books in my office than I will ever read, and the receipt of a free book does not affect my review.
