Summary:

"From 1920 through the mid-1940s, the US and Mexican governments colluded in the banishment of a million Mexican Americans, mostly US citizen women and children. Marla Ramirez explores the effects of "repatriation" on the exiles and their descendants, showing how forced removal permanently deprived them of legal rights and family property."-- Provided by publisher.
