Winner of the 2009 Lora Romero First Book Prize from the American
Studies Association 2009 Choice Outstanding Academic Title Explores
the transnational movements of Mexican migrants, including their
expressive culture and social movement practices Migrant
Imaginaries explores the transnational movements of Mexican
migrants in pursuit of labor and civil rights in the United States
from the 1920s onward. Working through key historical moments such
as the 1930s, the Chicano Movement, and contemporary globalization
and neoliberalism, Alicia Schmidt Camacho examines the relationship
between ethnic Mexican expressive culture and the practices
sustaining migrant social movements. Combining sustained historical
engagement with theoretical inquiries, she addresses how struggles
for racial and gender equity, cross-border unity, and economic
justice have defined the Mexican presence in the United States
since 1910. Schmidt Camacho covers a range of archives and sources,
including migrant testimonials and songs, Amrico Parede's last
published novel, The Shadow, the film Salt of the Earth, the
foundational manifestos of El Movimiento, Richard Rodriguez's
memoirs, narratives by Marisela Norte and Rosario Sanmiguel, and
testimonios of Mexican women workers and human rights activists, as
well as significant ethnographic research. Throughout, she
demonstrates how Mexicans and Mexican Americans imagined their
communal ties across the border, and used those bonds to contest
their noncitizen status. Migrant Imaginaries places migrants at the
center of the hemisphere's most pressing concerns, contending that
border crossers have long been vital to social change.
