<br/><br/> Hellman (York U., Canada) offers insights into the lives of the 6 million undocumented Mexican migrant workers currently living in the United States, noting that the fluctuations in this populace are directly related to social and economic condition in their homeland. The author interviews a number of these migrants, examining living conditions in major American cities such as Los Angeles and New York as well as in native villages back in Mexico. Emphasis is placed on the political views and opinions of these workers, which are often ignored in this country. This is a vital study for students of Latin American studies as well as a general audience, and is based upon a wealth of data that has been collected since the 1960s.
