González relies on a variety of published sources and interviews with longtime residents to detail the education of village children; the Americanization of village adults; unionization and strikes; and the decline of the citrus picker village and rise of the urban barrio. His insightful study of the rural dimensions of Mexican-American life prior to World War II adds balance to a long-standing urban bias in Chicano historiography.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49987780477201,"sku":"GOR013829312","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":51329552253201,"sku":"CIN0252063880G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0252063880.jpg?v=1767350298"},{"product_id":"guest-workers-or-colonized-labor-book-gilbertg-gonzalez-9781594511516","title":"Guest Workers or Colonized Labor?","description":"Scholars and journalists have looked to Mexico's economy and society for the chief causes of Mexican migration to the United States. This book presents a contrasting explanation, examining the history of relations between the two countries. Gilbert Gonzalez dispels the myth that Mexican migration conforms to the pattern of earlier European migrations. Mexican migration, he shows, is the social consequence of US economic domination of Mexico. Since the late nineteenth century, US capitalist enterprises have controlled important sectors of the Mexican economy, a dominance that uprooted small farmers from traditional villages. These uprooted families eventually proceeded to the United States to be integrated into the largest capitalist corporations in the world. This mass migration has had a number of consequences, from indentured labor to legal and illegal labor. Gonzalez's book examines recent Bush initiatives, NAFTA measures, and the history of antecedent bracero programs supported by US government and business to show how colonial explanations of migration better fit historical patterns.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50384154394897,"sku":"CIN1594511519G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1594511519.jpg?v=1751276712"},{"product_id":"labor-versus-empire-book-gilbert-g-gonzalez-9780415948142","title":"Labor Versus Empire","description":"The essays in this collection address issues significant to labor within regional, national and international contexts.

However, a guest worker program within current reform proposals is generally overlooked by the public and by activist organizations. Also overlooked is significant corporate lobbying that affects legislation. This updated edition critically examines the new guest worker program included in the White House and Congressional bipartisan committee s immigration reform blueprints and puts the debate into historical and contemporary contexts. It describes how the influential U.S. Chamber of Commerce and the AFL-CIO agreed on guidelines for a new guest worker program to be included in the plan. Gonzalez shows how guest worker programs stand within a history of utilizing controlled, cheap, disposable labor with lofty projections rarely upheld. For courses in a wide variety of disciplines, this timely text taps into trends toward teaching immigration politics and policy.Features of the New Edition","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52148146569489,"sku":"NLS9781612054483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52752739369233,"sku":"NIN9781612054483","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781612054483.jpg?v=1757602727"},{"product_id":"labor-versus-empire-book-gilbert-g-gonzalez-9780415948159","title":"Labor Versus Empire","description":"The essays in this collection address issues significant to labor within regional, national and international contexts.
