Cultural Horizons of North America | Growing New Roots

Growing New Roots - Students investigate several groups of recently arrived people to learn about how cultural identity changes - and how it stays the same - after moving to a new place. The children meet several Tibetan exiles; two Mexican-American families who travel north each spring to work on farms; and a family that includes parents born in Liberia and a daughter born in Germany who are creating a new blended cultural identity in Atlanta. They also learn to distinguish between aspects of surface culture and aspects of deep culture.
