Mexican Immigration in Interdisciplinary Perspectives

Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

An up-to-date look at the dynamics and effects of Mexican immigration, the longest-running and largest inflow in the history of the nation in this century. Because contributors come from both sides of the border and some of them have experienced the processes that they describe, the contents are richer and more persuasive than books written from a single-country perspective. A significant addition to the research literature on contemporary immigration.--Alejandro Portes, President, American Sociological Association, Professor of Sociology, Princeton University The originality of this timely book lies in its bilateral approach and interdisciplinary nature. A challenging work by prestigious scholars, it is a major achievement that will foster academic cooperation on one of the most complex issues in U.S-Mexico relations.--M nico Verea, Founding Director and Researcher, Centro de Investigaciones sobre America del Norte, Universidad Nacional Aut noma de M xico The incorporation of the commentaries works well, rendering the tome less passive than many scholarly texts, and often reinforcing points raised whilst introducing new areas of discussion. Well-judged and evocative photographs by Anna LeVine give an added 'real' dimension to a thought-provoking work that illustrates the importance of creating a climate in which diverse ethnic groups can flourish.--British Bulletin of Publications Crossings is must reading for anyone interested in the 'new immigration: The thoughtful and carefully researched interdisciplinary essays on economic, social, cultural, psychological, and political aspects of the Mexican immigrant experience make this volume a unique contribution to social science work on an important international topic.--Susan Eckstein, President, Latin American Studies Association Professor of Sociology, Boston University

Reseña del editor:

Arguably few social phenomena are likely to impact the future character of American culture and society as much as the ongoing wave of "new immigration". This cross-disciplinary collection brings together 12 essays by scholars of the Mexican immigration to the United States. "Crossings" theorizes aspects of recent Mexican immigration that are new and that demarcate this wave of immigration from earlier experiences of the 20th century.
