- Summary:
- From the Mayo Brothers archive in Mexico's Secretariate of Foreign Relations, the photos in this collection represent one of the most controversial cross-cultural subjects of their time: the Bracero Program, a series of agreements between Mexico and the United States that permitted millions of Mexican men to work legally in the United States on short-term labor contracts. This book offers 83 historical photos and an introduction documenting their importance.
