<strong>Winner of the 2011 ALLA Book Award honorable mention!</strong><br><br><em>Labor and Legality: An Ethnography of a Mexican Immigrant Network </em>is an ethnography of undocumented immigrants who work as busboys at a Chicago-area restaurant. Ruth Gomberg-Muñoz introduces readers to the Lions, ten friends from Mexico committed to improving their fortunes and the lives of their<br>families. Set in and around "Il Vino," a restaurant that could stand in for many places that employ undocumented workers, <em>Labor and Legality </em>reveals the faces behind the war being waged over "illegal aliens" in America. Gomberg-Muñoz focuses on how undocumented workers develop a wide range of social<br>strategies to cultivate financial security, nurture emotional well-being, and promote their dignity and self-esteem. She 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<br>Mexico.<br><br><em>Labor and Legality </em>is one of several volumes in the <strong>Issues of Globalization: Case Studies in Contemporary Anthropology</strong> 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<br>globalization and its cultural, political, and economic effects on certain peoples or groups. Ideal for introductory anthropology courses-and as supplements for a variety of upper-level courses-these texts seamlessly combine portraits of an interconnected and globalized world with narratives that<br>emphasize the agency of their subjects.<br>
