Miniature Marimbas: Migrant Workers' Memories of Home.
Howell, Jayne
New York Folklore, v20 n3-4 p75-82 1995
Three Mexican migrant workers attending classes at Geneseo (New York) Migrant Center used leftover art materials to represent their home village in miniature. A spontaneous artistic expression, the objects allowed the men an opportunity to reminisce and reinforce cultural and interpersonal ties, and gave insight about their background and culture to Migrant Center personnel with whom they forged friendships.
