What is The wall between us : a Mixteco migrant community community in Mexico and the United States about?

iii, 168 pages : 23 cm "This volume provides a vivid portrait of a transnational migrant community anchored in both the remote Mixteca region of Oaxaca and the San Diego metropolitan area. Drawing on surveys and interviews with migrants and potential migrants conducted by a binational research team in 2007-2008, the contributors show how the Oaxaca-based and the California-based natives of the town of San Miguel Tlacotepec have built parallel communities separated by an increasingly fortified international border. Their findings shed important new light on a range of vital issues in US immigration policy, including the efficacy and impact of border enforcement, how undocumented status affects health and education outcomes, and how modern telecommunications are shaping transborder migrant networks."--Book cover Includes bibliographical (pages 167-168) references San Miguel Tlacotepec as a community of emigration / Bribrilia Cota-Cabrera [and others] -- Strategies for success: border crossing in an era of heightened security / Kristen Parks [and others] -- Setting down roots: Tlacotepense settlement in the United States / Clare Appleby, Nancy Moreno, and Arielle Smith -- Long-distanc
