Reviews
"This is an excellent book that opens new vistas in the field of migration studies. It covers material that is relatively understudied and discusses the diverse experience of 'global Latinos' in a manner that incorporates historical, sociological, and political themes."--James A. Garza, University of Nebraska-Lincoln "Global Latin(o) Americanos provides a cutting-edge set of provocative essays built around a compelling idea--that Latin Americans migrate many places beyond to the United States--which successfully captures the current fascination with employing a transnational lens to scholarship. This is the best example I know of taking the idea of transnational interconnections and carrying it through to people's lives and choices as they play out geographically. The text breaks new ground and then treads over that ground in cogent comparative cases."--Emily Waklid, Boise State University, "This is an excellent book that opens new vistas in the field of migration studies.
