About this product
Product Information
At the beginning of World War II, the United States and Mexico launched the bracero program, a series of labor agreements that brought Mexican men to work temporarily in U.S. agricultural fields. In Braceros , historian Deborah Cohen asks why these temporary migrants provoked so much concern and anxiety in the United States and what the Mexican government expected to gain in participating in the program. Cohen reveals the fashioning of a U.S.-Mexican transnational world, a world created through the interactions, negotiations, and struggles of the program's principal protagonists including Mexican and U.S. state actors, labor activists, growers, and bracero migrants. Cohen argues that braceros became racialized foreigners, Mexican citizens, workers, and transnational subjects as they moved between U.S. and Mexican national spaces.Drawing on oral histories, ethnographic fieldwork, and documentary evidence, Cohen creatively links the often unconnected themes of exploitation, development, the rise of consumer cultures, and gendered class and race formation to show why those with connections beyond the nation have historically provoked suspicion, anxiety, and retaliatory political policies.

"Cohen's ability to illustrate the complexity of the transnational space that came to comprise the bracero program renders her work a must read for scholars interested in the history of transnational im/migration. . . . An excellent example of transnational historiography."-- H-Borderlands, "An important work that fits well into any classroom due to an engaging writing style and the ever-present issues that Cohen tackles."-- Diplomatic History, "[Cohen's] analysis offers the most complicated view yet of those workers in the World War II and Korean War eras, part of a growing movement to capture these men's stories, which are increasingly becoming unavailable."-- Hispanic American Historical Review, " Braceros is a very rich, full text, and the author has certainly done her best to not leave out anything important."-- H-Diplo Roundtable Review, "A compelling, path-breaking study based on a splendid set of oral histories, Braceros demonstrates the inseparability of Mexican and U.S. history and offers lessons for our current debates on immigration and guest-worker programs."--Sarah J.

Dvd arrived quickly and well packaged and taken care of. The item was listed as acceptable and met all of my needs but here's a quick description of what I got: Some wear is visible on the plastic sleeve on the outside of the case. The inside leaflet was still there! The disk has about 3 very notable scratches, although none are bigger than about 2 centimeters. Little to no grime anywhere on the product. Great service!
