Of Kin and Community
Villanueva, Victor
English Journal, v101 n1 p108-110 Sep 2011
Hispanics in an overwhelmingly white organization will gather together, women of whatever "race" in male-dominated situations, poor people among the middle class. They find those with whom they believe they have a cultural or economic kinship and act accordingly. The author shares how he found a personal community in his professional organization.
