| Notes | This poem doesn't reference a human rights violation, but it does explore the pressure felt by a new immigrant to the United States to assimilate. Her mother-tongue, Spanish, is a source of intense embarrassment and the young girl vows to change herself and to be reborn in this 'New World'. Many of Ní Ghearbhuigh's poems included in this dataset can be discussed in the wider context of political and cultural rights. |
