Reviews

While much of the literature on NAFTA overlooks its social implications, French and Manzanárez examine NAFTA from the perspective of the long-excluded indigenous populations of the Americans, presenting a critical analysis of the treaty's negative impact on criminal, human, and social justice issues....Dealing with the rise and fall of the Mexican revolution, social and economic justice, and comparative educational systems, the book properly places the question of justice within the broader context of neocolonialism and globalization.... Summing Up: RECOMMENDED. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.
*CHOICE*

In the digital age, scholars wrestle with the evolving relationship of justice to the new globalism. French and Manzanárez's treatise is an important addition to the critical study of that relationship. The authors leap into the vortex where politics, culture, and economics collide. They emerge to suggest that classism, ethnocentrism, and inequality are still the driving forces of North American affairs. Agree or not, French and Manzanárez's treatise is provocative reading. Historically based and forcibly argued, it contributes mightily to our understanding of twenty-first century justice in the hemisphere we hold in common.
