Reviews
"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 relations. The 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
