En savoir plus sur le livre
In this book the reader can find a different perspective to study the social phenomenon of international immigration, particularly the migration of Mexican nationals to the United States. Immigration goes along with the history of the civilization of humankind. In this modern era, the migration of workers from developing and underdeveloped countries to core developed nations has become the social hallmark of the globalized society. The migrant is now the protagonist that challenges the economic system and the democratic institutions of westernized nations. In this study, the author analyzes the migration of Mexican and Mexican-indigenous immigrants coming from rural communities of the state of Michoacan into the rural American Midwest. Based on an ethnographic framework, the author presents the reasons behind immigration, where the development of social capital and the nature of the capitalist system are essential for the development and sustainability of migration. The author aims to present the life of the participants as best as she can to give voice to those who have been silenced.
