- Summary:
- One of the few case studies of undocumented immigrants available, this insightful anthropological analysis humanizes a group of people too often reduced to statistics and stereotypes. The hardships of Hispanic migration are conveyed in the immigrants' own voices while the author's voice raises questions about power, stereotypes, settlement, and incorporation into American society. Fully updated, the Second Edition contains new information on the anti-immigration sentiment of the 1990's and the congressional propositions which have helped define it.
