Although immigrants enter the United States from virtually every nation, Mexico has long been identified in the public imagination as one of the primary sources of the economic, social, and political problems associated with mass migration. Between Two Worlds explores the controversial issues surrounding the influx of Mexicans to America. The eleven essays in this anthology provide an overview of some of the most important interpretations of the historical and contemporary dimensions of the Mexican diaspora.

Editorial Reviews
Review
A much-needed compilation of studies bearing on one of the United States' most perplexing and volatile issues. . . . The essays are interpreted within a larger political and social context by Gutiérrez in his introduction. This outstanding anthology will help us rethink the nature of citizenship and the nation-state. (Richard Griswold del Castillo )
Between Two Worlds brings together for the first time scholarship that recognizes the multilayered complexity of ethnic Mexican communities in the U.S. . . . Together, these authors explore in clear and concise prose the social, political, cultural, economic, and gendered terrain that simultaneously divides and unifies ethnic Mexicans, both immigrant and U.S.-born. (Neil Foley )
This volume is a good introduction to Mexican immigrant history in the United States and will be useful in the university classroom. The articles David Gutiérrez has included are written by some of the best scholars in the field. . . (Journal Of The West )
