Journey to an Unknown World: Experiences of a Migrant traces the family story of Orlando Rafael Zapata from the banana zone of Ci naga, Colombia, to Florida, from the nineteenth century through today. With extreme sharpness of detail, wit, and observation, Zapata delves into one family's social life and customs by focusing on the strength, love, and dedication of women protagonists who over the course of Journey to an Unknown World break the barriers of those oppressive customs. They show the tenacity and the spirit of work that accompany those who succeed in a country that offers them new opportunities.
