Summary:
For Mexicans on both sides of the border, the migrant experience changed significantly during the end of the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first. In this book, the author draws on the experiences of indigenous people from a region in the Mexican state of Guerrero to explore the impact of this transformation on the lives of migrants.
