For the comparative essay: I will compare and contrast the situation between the migrant workers in United States during the Dust Bowl and the current situation with migrant Nicaraguan workers in Costa Rica. To do so I will use sources such as:
· The Grapes of Wrath: mainly the intercalary paragraphs and use examples of situations of the Joad family. Steinbeck, John. The Grapes of Wrath. New York, USA: Pinguin Books, 2002.
Personal experience of Mercedes’ (a Nicaraguan) situation: she is a maid in a Costa Rican family and her entire family is in Nicaragua
For knowledge on the historical background: “Historical Background”. USQ Artxworks. 31-10-08. http://www.usq.edu.au/performancecentre/education/thegrapesofwrath/
historical.htm.
Sources handed out by Miss Irene. *She hasn’t given them to us.
Information of migrant people from Nicaragua in Costa Rica: “Una situación de vulnerabilidad social: El cantón de Upala y los inmigrantes Nicaragüenses”. 31-10-08. Informe Estado de la Nación. http://www.estadonacion.or.cr/Info1998/nacion4/rec-7-7.htm.
These pages includes important information on aspects such as education, health, statistics and jobs for migrant workers in Costa Rica: “La inmigracion en Costa Rica: Dinamicas, Desarrollo y Desafios”. OPEC-UNFCO. 31-10-08. http://www.ministeriodesalud.go.cr/derechos%20humanos/migracion/inmigracr.pdf / and “Migrantes Nicaraguenses en Costa Rica 2000”. 31-10-08. http://ccp.ucr.ac.cr/investi/migranicas.htm
