* Item Description
- This book is a valuable resource for those interested in the experiences of Mexican immigrants in the United States. It provides a detailed ethnography of a group of undocumented immigrants who work as busboys at a Chicago-area restaurant. The author introduces readers to the Lions, ten friends from Mexico who are committed to improving their fortunes and the lives of their families. The book focuses on how undocumented workers develop a wide range of social strategies to cultivate financial security, nurture emotional well-being, and promote their dignity and self-esteem. It also reviews the political and historical circumstances of undocumented migration, with an emphasis on post-1970 socioeconomic and political conditions in the United States and Mexico. The book is ideal for introductory anthropology courses and as supplements for a variety of upper-level courses. It is one of several volumes in the Issues of Globalization: Case Studies in Contemporary Anthropology series, which examines the experiences of individual communities in our contemporary world. Each volume offers a brief and engaging exploration of a particular issue arising from globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups.
