Mexican Voices of the Border Region by Laura Velasco Ortiz

Mexican Voices of the Border Region by Laura Velasco Ortiz

"Mexican Voices of the Border Region is a novel addition to the growing literature on borders, transborder communities, and using borders for understanding United States–Mexico relationsThe moving stories-of those who cross the border for their work and do not experience that crossing as particularly liberating-are very compelling and have broad appeal."
-Lynn Stephen, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology, University of Oregon, and author of Transborder Lives: Indigenous Oaxacans in Mexico, California, and Oregon
