Abstract
The reminiscences of elderly Latinas can be a valuable source for understanding how migrants define cultural accommodation and capitalize on aspects of their own culture to make necessary adjustments to a new one. This article is based on an oral history project carried out with elderly Latinas in the Midwest in which the women share their life stories, including their reminiscences on the adjustments they made to living in the mainland United States. The reminiscences were avenues for rediscovering and reconceptualizing culture. The article addresses several methodological issues in narrative research: the roles and status of the researcher, the meaning of reciprocity, and the nature and meaning of the group sharing of stories.
