Reviews"I am excited to teach immigration again because students will read and discuss the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Labor and Legality. My students--who are mostly immigrants or the children of immigrants--see themselves and their family members in the stories recounted in this book. Ruth Gomberg-Muoz does an excellent job of weaving the stories of undocumented workers with a critical analysis of labor laws, immigration policies, and the history of Mexican migration to the United States."--Tanya Golash-Boza, University of California, Merced "Through careful and compassionate ethnography, Ruth Gomberg-Muoz moves beyond one-dimensional representations of undocumented people to reveal the humanity of those struggling to improve their own lives and those of their families. With this revised edition, Gomberg-Muoz revisits a social problem that, far from being resolved, has become more dire since initial publication of Labor and Legality."--Aaron Thornburg, Eastern Oregon University "As legacies of the U.S. in Latin America continue to play out demographically and culturally, and amid unsubstantiated assertions and policies that are damaging to many families and large sectors of communities, books like Labor and Legality are essential. This text humanizes public and policy discourse by acknowledging people as indispensable to communities, as well as to countries, which out of necessity may be more than a single place for living and connecting."--James Loukcy, Western Washington University, "I am excited to teach immigration again because students will read and discuss the Tenth Anniversary Edition of Labor and Legality.
