Description

Youth who have experienced insecurity during childhood face low rates of high school graduation and are unlikely to attend college or university. At Rutgers University, the Price Family Fellows program provides financial, emotional, and academic support for students who strive to better themselves and achieve their dreams through education. Eight graduates of the program now share reflections, photographs, and memories in search of new, sometimes radical, meanings of home and family. Beautifully illustrated with the students' own photography and writing, Notes from Home weaves a tapestry of memories and experiences. Through portraiture, oral history, writing, and family archives, they explore childhood, geography, immigration, education, and family relationships, recovering misunderstood or overlooked moments. Loss and uncertainty, as well as joy, play, and love helped each contributor form a sense of identity in light of the challenges they faced. This book demonstrates their remarkable strength, resilience, and personal achievement. Each chapter is strikingly unique in its vision and approach.
