| Zusammenfassung: | Clandestine Crossings delivers an in-depth description and analysis of the experiences of working-class Mexican migrants at the beginning of the twenty-first century as they enter the United States surreptitiously with the help of paid guides known as coyotes. Drawing on ethnographic observations of crossing conditions in the borderlands of South Texas, as well as interviews with migrants, coyotes, and border officials, Spener details how migrants and coyotes work together to evade apprehension by U.S. law enforcement authorities as they cross the border. In so doing, he seeks to dispel many of the myths that misinform public debate about undocumented immigration to the United States. The hiring of a coyote, Spener argues, is one of the principal strategies that Mexican migrants have developed in response to intensified U.S. border enforcement. Although this strategy is typically portrayed in the press as a sinister organized-crime phenomenon, Spener argues that it is better understood as the resistance of working-class Mexicans to an economic model and set of immigration policies in North America that increasingly resemble an apartheid system. In the absence of adequate employment opportunities in Mexico and legal mechanisms for them to work in the United States, migrants and coyotes draw on their social connections and cultural knowledge to stage successful border crossings in spite of the ever greater dangers placed in their path by government authorities |

Cornell University Press [2016] © 2009 1 Online-Ressource txt rdacontent c rdamedia cr rdacarrier Description based on online resource; title from PDF title page (publisher's Web site, viewed Dec. 14, 2016) Clandestine Crossings delivers an in-depth description and analysis of the experiences of working-class Mexican migrants at the beginning of the twenty-first century as they enter the United States surreptitiously with the help of paid guides known as coyotes. Drawing on ethnographic observations of crossing conditions in the borderlands of South Texas, as well as interviews with migrants, coyotes, and border officials, Spener details how migrants and coyotes work together to evade apprehension by U.S. law enforcement authorities as they cross the border. In so doing, he seeks to dispel many of the myths that misinform public debate about undocumented immigration to the United States. The hiring of a coyote, Spener argues, is one of the principal strategies that Mexican migrants have developed in response to intensified U.S. border enforcement. Although this strategy is typically portrayed in the press as a sinister organized-crime phenomenon, Spener argues that it is better understood as the resistance of working-class Mexicans to an economic model and set of immigration policies in North America that increasingly resemble an apartheid system. In the absence of adequate employment opportunities in Mexico and legal mechanisms for them to work in the United States, migrants and coyotes draw on their social connections and cultural knowledge to stage successful border crossings in spite of the ever greater dangers placed in their path by government authorities In English Einwanderer Border crossing Mexican-American Border Region Human smuggling Mexican-American Border Region Illegal aliens Mexican-American Border Region Immigrants Mexican-American Border Region Grenzgebiet (DE-588)4021993-8 gnd rswk-swf Rehabilitation (DE-588)4049078-6 gnd rswk-swf Fluchthilfe (DE-588)4194613-3 gnd rswk-swf Illegale Einwanderung (DE-588)4288465-2 gnd rswk-swf Mexiko (DE-588)4039058-5 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf Texas (DE-588)4059594-8 gnd rswk-swf Texas (DE-588)4059594-8 g Mexiko (DE-588)4039058-5 g Illegale Einwanderung (DE-588)4288465-2 s Fluchthilfe (DE-588)4194613-3 s Rehabilitation (DE-588)4049078-6 s 1\p DE-604 USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Grenzgebiet (DE-588)4021993-8 s 2\p DE-604 https://doi.org/10.7591/9780801460395 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
