During the past three decades there have been many studies of
transnational migration. Most of the scholarship has focused on one
side of the border, one area of labor incorporation, one generation
of migrants, and one gender. In this path-breaking book, Manuel
Barajas presents the first cross-national, comparative study to
examine a Mexican-origin community's experience with international
migration and transnationalism. He presents an extended case study
of the Xaripu community, with home bases in both Xaripu, Michoacan,
and Stockton, California, and elaborates how various forms of
colonialism, institutional biases, and emergent forms of domination
have shaped Xaripu labor migration, community formation, and family
experiences across the Mexican/U.S. border for over a century. Of
special interest are Barajas's formal and informal interviews
within the community, his examination of oral histories, and his
participant observation in several locations. Barajas asks, What
historical events have shaped the Xaripus' migration experiences?
How have Xaripus been incorporated into the U.S. labor market? How
have national inequalities affected their ability to form a
community across borders? And how have migration, settlement, and
employment experiences affected the family, especially gender
relationships, on both sides of the border?
