My school was pretty South and West oriented (ideologically and physically), so we had a hard time making it to the NY writers. Three of my favorites on the subject are: "Seeking Community in a Global City: Guatemalans and Salvadorans in Los Angeles" Hamilton & Stoltz Chinchilla, 2001 (SO FANTASTIC! I read this book several times and it's still tagged with sticky notes and marked up with pencil, so good, so good); "Crossing Over: A Mexican Family on the Migrant Trail" Martinez, 2001 (really excellent combination of the story of a family and the theoretical framework to place the story in context); "Crossing Borders, Reinforcing Borders: Social categories, metaphors, and narrative identities on the U.S.-Mexico Frontier" Vila, 2000 (the best book on border theory I read while in school, it is really engaging and I highly recommend it). Suerte! I haven’t read that one, it sounds interesting. My school was pretty South and West oriented (ideologically and physically), so we had a hard time making it to the NY writers.

I can recommend you a few of my favorites if you are interested in a longer reading list. Or, you could come visit and raid my bookshelf... I'm on the way to Ecuador.... What’s the book?
