Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
Issues of gender and immigration are often overlooked in sociological analysis. Hondagneu-Sotelo successfully delves into the convoluted field of sociology of migration and successfully shows ways in which gender transitions within Mexican Families do not cleanly fall into stereotypes one presumes about Mexicans. Overall, a great book to read as an example of strong ethnographic work that is supported with strong theoretical foundations and analysis.
GREAT EXPERIENCE
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
I thought the book was great. The fact alone that I read it was benefitial in the way that I learned about people's experiences as immigrants. Also, Prof. Hondagneu Sotelo teaches at the University of Southern California, and I had the great opportunity of taking her class (Immigrant America)and reading her book and have her explain it directly.
Thought-provoking perspective on immigration

This academic book is a thought-provoking perspective on the experience of immigration that takes into account the gendered nature of traveling patterns. I recommend it to anyone interested in more than simply the demographic numbers of migration.
