What is Fragmented ties : Salvadoran immigrant networks in America about?

Challenging romanticized notions of immigrant solidarity, Fragmented Ties reveals the problems of obtaining help from relatives and friends with few resources to share. A valuable contribution that advances our understanding of the immigrant experience.&#151;Nancy Foner, editor of <i>New Immigrants in New York</i> <P>Menjivar painstakingly describes the 'downside' of immigrant networks.
