Welcome to my Urban Borderlands website! This site contains pictures and information about my project from Fall Semester, 2003. which focused on the Latino Business Community in Somerville, Massachusetts. This project was part of Urban Borderlands, an anthropology course at Tufts University. Students in the class conducted oral history projects about Latinos in Somerville. I worked with Emily Chasan to research Latino owned businesses. Click "About Our Project" to find out more about the process of our research. High school students Bianca Salazar and Evelin Santos participated in the project as well. Click the bios to find out more about the participants. To see Emily's work, click the link for her wesbite. Finally, click "Businesses" to find out more about the 5 businesses where I conducted interviews this semester. Enjoy!
