Description

From the massive nationwide rally in make stronger of immigrant rights in May 2006 to protests against the increasingly more frequent immigration raids across the country, the public debate on immigration reform has largely centered on Mexican immigrants. Yet, in the USA, we rarely hear the Mexican perspective on the issue.

In “portraits that defy American stereotypes of who is a Mexican immigrant” (Booklist), former Mexican foreign minister and eminent scholar Jorge G. Castañeda describes just who makes up the newest generation of immigrants from Mexico, why they have chosen to live in the USA, where they work, and what they in the end hope to reach. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience, Casteñeda examines the century-long historical background in the back of the labor exchange between Mexico and the USA, at the same time as offering an insider’s account of the official conversations and secret negotiations between the two countries in up to date years.

Both authoritative and timely, Ex Mex is very important reading for all who need to make sense of the complex issue of immigration.
