Collection Overview
| Size | 1.5 feet of linear shelf space (approximately 2850 items) |
| Abstract | Paul Cuadros was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., the third son of parents who immigrated from Peru. He attended the University of Michigan and Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism and focused his career in journalism on writing and reporting on issues of race and poverty. In 1999, he was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship to write and report on the impact of emerging Latino communities on the rural South. This resulted in the book A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America (2006). The Paul Cuadros Photographic Collection is primarily composed of images related to the Latino immigrant community in central North Carolina, particularly in Siler City. They were taken when Cuadros was living there researching the Latino migration to the American South. The subjects of the images include the living conditions of immigrants; poultry and agricultural workers, including injured poultry workers; social and community events such as quinceaneras and festivals; religious events, including a passion play; children in school, including a contentious meeting of the Siler City School Board in September 1999; and anti-immigration rallies, including one led by David Duke in February 2000 and the response to that rally. Also included are a few images from North Carolina locations outside Siler City and a few from outside North Carolina. |

Biographical
Information
Paul Cuadros (Paul F.) was born in Ann Arbor, Mich., the third son of parents who immigrated from Peru. His father, Alberto Cuadros, came to the United States in 1960 and began working as an animal care technician, later sending for his wife and two older sons. Paul Cuadros attended the University of Michigan, followed by a master's degree from Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism. He focused his career in journalism on writing and reporting on issues of race and poverty.
Cuadros worked for the investigative journal The Chicago Reporter for five years, writing on issues such as health care, immigration, housing, and crime. He then moved to Washington, D.C., and worked for the Center for Public Integrity, serving as a writer and researcher on two book projects and several reports. He was the recipient of the Inland Press Association Award sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Pew Charitable Trust Award for health care reporting, and the National Association of Hispanic Journalists' award for online reporting.
In 1999, he was awarded an Alicia Patterson Foundation Fellowship to write and report on the impact of emerging Latino communities on the rural south. After receiving this grant, he moved to Siler City, N.C., and began research into the Latino immigrant community working in poultry factories in North Carolina. This work has resulted in the book A Home on the Field: How One Championship Team Inspires Hope for the Revival of Small Town America .
As of 2011, Cuadros is an assistant professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill's School of Journalism and Mass Communication and a freelance writer for Time Magazine.
