Fascinating and Surprising
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Interspersed with immigration tables, maps and personal vignettes, statistics models and modernist poetry, Between Two Nations is more than an exploration of immigration, marginality and political identity in the City; it approaches sociopolitical art. Capturing trial and tribulation, the melee of irrationality, self-interest and calculation in our polity, the faces and the thrum of humanity, one cannot help but wonder: who is Michael Jones-Correa?
A terrific book

Really lets us know how Latino immigrants think about citizenship, and how they act politically. Given the way that immigration is changing America, a must read.
