- Summary:
- Images and accounts of the Mexican-US migration process and the border region abound. Representations of border crossers, plans for the construction of a security fence, the shifting economic relationship between the US and its southern neighbors, and the changing character of the Rio Grande area have played a pivotal role in shaping contemporary political discourse. The Politics, Economics, and Culture of Mexican-US Migration: Both Sides of the Border places the current debate within a broader context in a way that is of relevance and interest to both the specialist and the more general reader.
