4.0 out of 5 stars
A useful collection of essays, though now dated, July 9, 2004
This review is from: The California-Mexico Connection (Paperback)
Seventeen scholars contributed to this wide-ranging examination of the complex, multi-faceted relationships between Mexico and the American state of California. Topics covered include politics, economics, education, migration, and health. The most specific and useful articles are divided into two broad categories: trends in Mexico, and Mexicans in California. Their authors, writing in the early 1990's, foresaw many of the trends and problems that loom even larger today. On the other hand, some material now seems dated, particularly the assumption that it would be the Mexican left that would be the most important challenge to PRI dominance. A new version of this collection, minus the more theoretical essays, would be welcome.
