"Well researched and documented. Very readable narrative. Summing Up: Highly recommended. All academic levels/libraries." (Choice, 1 December 2011) "Given all the ranting over Mexican immigration - on bothsides of the issue - it's like a breath of farm-freshair in fall to have a book that quietly and concisely explains howwe got here." Sam Quinones, author of Antonio's Gun and Delfino's Dream:True Tales of Mexican Migration "Beyond Borders delivers on its title by synthesizing acomplex binational history. Highly readable, it is an excellentresource for students, policymakers, and anyone interested inbetter understanding a process that is profoundly important forboth the United States and Mexico."
