"Cruz-Manjarrez documents important aspects of indigenous immigrant
identity formation in Los Angeles and Yalálag, Oaxaca, particularly
of immigrant youth, adding to our understanding of urban indigenous
incorporation in the United States."

"This rich ethnography reveals how ethnic identity and community
membership are negotiated across borders and generations, including
an especially original analysis of public cultural expression
through community dance."

"Zapotecs on the Move offers a valuable account of the complexities
of transnationalism through a deep analysis of the experience of
Yalaltecos in Oaxaca and Los Angeles."
*International Migration Review*
"[Zapotecs on the Move] elegantly advances anthropological
understandings of the topic of migrations/immigrations/emigrations
between Mexico and the United States … I highly recommend this book
to scholars interested in the international movement of culture,
memory and the politics of assimilation, and identity projects in
Mexico or the United States."

"Zapotecs on the Move is an important contribution to scholarship
