Reviews

"A highly readable, well-crafted history of transnational migration and labor struggles. This study deserves a broad readership and would be excellent in both graduate and undergraduate classes."--Hispanic American Historical Review "This is one of the most ambitious and signifcant works in Mexican, Chicano, and labor history as well as the history of Mexico- United States relations to appear in recent years....This is a classic, and with its sweeping grasp, massive documentation, and strong writing, it will stand as the greatest scholarly contribution in Acuña's illustrious career."--Dionicio Nodín Valdés, author of Al Norte: Agricultural Workers in the Great Lakes Region
