Caught Between Two Worlds
For some children of immigrants and members of families with mixed national origins, life can be an interesting cultural balancing act. Having immigrant parents can lead to a feeling of being caught between two worlds and opens questions of self-identity. In this clip, a man with an American mother and Paraguayan father talks about his life and how when he is in the U.S., he is seen as being from Paraguay, and when he visits Paraguay, he is considered an American.
