True Tales of Mexica Migration

摘要

In this highly readable book, Sam Quinones, who has worked both as a freelance journalist and for the Los Angeles Times, provides a series of 'tales' that uncover the complexities of national and international migration of Mexicans. Part historian, part ethnographer and part acute analyst of small town politics, Quinones examines both the impact of the migration process on individuals and on the towns they have left, and the roots of this exodus in the profound social inequality that has characterised life in Mexico since the pre-conquest.
