The incorporation of the commentaries works well, rendering the
tome less passive than many scholarly texts, and often reinforcing
points raised whilst introducing new areas of discussion.
Well-judged and evocative photographs by Anna LeVine give an added
‘real’ dimension to a thought-provoking work that illustrates the
importance of creating a climate in which diverse ethnic groups can
flourish.

Crossings is must-reading for anyone interested in the ‘new
immigration.’ The thoughtful and carefully researched
interdisciplinary essays on economic, social, cultural,
psychological, and political aspects of the Mexican immigrant
experience make this volume a unique contribution to social science
work on an important international topic.
*Susan Eckstein, Boston University, President of the Latin American
Studies Association*
An up-to-date look at the dynamics and effects of Mexican
immigration, the longest-running and largest inflow in the history
of the nation in this century. Because contributors come from both
sides of the border and some of them have experienced the processes
that they describe, the contents are richer and more persuasive
than books written from a single-country perspective. A significant
addition to the research literature on contemporary
immigration.
*Alejandro Portes, Princeton University, President of the American
Sociological Association*
The originality of this timely book lies in its bilateral approach
and interdisciplinary nature. A challenging work by prestigious
scholars, it is a major achievement that will foster academic
cooperation on one of the most complex issues in U.S.–Mexico
relations.

Investigaciones sobre America del Norte, Universidad Nacional
