Kids in cages, violent ICE raids, and anti-immigrant racist rhetoric characterize our political reality and are everyday shaping how people intersect at the US-Mexico border. As activist-scholar Justin Akers Chac̤n carefully demonstrates, however, this vicious model of capitalist transnationalization has also created its own grave-diggers. Contemporary North American capitalism relies heavily on an inter-connected working class which extends across the border. Cross-border production and supply chains, logistics networks, and retail and service firms have aligned and fused a growing number of workers into one common class, whether they live in the US or Mexico. While money moves without restriction, the movement of displaced migrant workers across borders is restricted and punished. Transborder people face walls, armed agents, detention camps, and a growing regime of repressive laws that criminalize them. Despite the growth and violence of the police state dedicated to the repression of transborder populations -- the migra-state -- migrant workers have been at the forefront of class struggle in the United States. This timely book persuasively argues that labor and migrant solidarity movements are already showing how and why, in order to fight for justice and re-build the international union movement, we must open the border." -- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 239-284) and index. 650 0 $a Foreign workers, Mexican $z United States. 650 0 $a Capitalism $z United States. 650 0 $a Unfair labor practices $z United States. 651 0 $a Mexican-American Border Region. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Boundaries $z United States. 651 0 $a United States $x Boundaries $z Mexico. 651 0 $a United States $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 651 0 $a Mexico $x Government policy. $x Government policy. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20230517011748.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20211223010127.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F947AE7E63BD11ECAE2521E037ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
