SUMMARY:Author Talk with Robert "Carlos" Fuentes: "The Vacation: A Teenage Migrant Farmworker's Experience Picking Cherries in Michigan"
DESCRIPTION:Join us at the MSU Libraries for an author talk and book 
 signing by Robert “Carlos” Fuentes\, author of The Vacation: A Teenage 
 Migrant Farmworker’s Experience Picking Cherries in Michigan. Fuentes’s 
 memoir recounts his time as a teenager in the late ‘60s traveling to 
 Michigan to pick cherries with his family for the summer. \n\nMr. Fuentes 
 is an MSU alum and retired staff member\, formerly holding the position as 
 the Intercultural Initiatives Coordinator. His 22 year career in student 
 services included helping to launch the International Engagement in Mexico 
 program\, and promoting global learning. \n\n“Sensitive reminisces of a 
 Mexican American teenager on a cherry-picking ‘vacation’ in the summer 
 of 1969 with his family in northern Michigan. Provides a window to family\, 
 religion\, race relations\, and short-term community life among migrant 
 farm working families through the experiences of an adolescent boy who is 
 coming of age in a migrant camp and the orchards of cherry growers.”
