| Zusammenfassung: | In the 1970s the Mexican government acted to alleviate rural unemployment by supporting the migration of able-bodied men. Millions crossed into the United States to find work that would help them survive as well as sustain their families in Mexico. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. But as U.S. authorities pursued more aggressive anti-immigrant measures, migrants found themselves caught between the economic interests of competing governments. The fruits of their labor were needed in both places, and yet neither country made them feel welcome. Ana Raquel Minian explores this unique chapter in the history of Mexican migration. Undocumented Lives draws on private letters, songs, and oral testimony to recreate the experience of circular migration, which reshaped communities in the United States and Mexico. While migrants could earn for themselves and their families in the U.S., they needed to return to Mexico to reconnect with their homes periodically. Despite crossing the border many times, they managed to belong to communities on both sides of it. Ironically, the U.S. immigration crackdown of the mid-1980s disrupted these flows, forcing many migrants to remain north of the border permanently for fear of not being able to return to work. For them, the United States became known as the jaula de oro...the cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexicans who have been used and abused by the broader economic and political policies of Mexico and the United States.... |

11ST THE I 9 70S the Mexican government
acted to alleviate rural unemployment by
supporting the migration of able-bodied
men. IVLillions crossed into the United States
to find work that would help them survive as
xvell as sustain their families in Mexico, They-
took low-level positions that few Americans
wanted and sent money- hack to communi-
ties that depended on their support. But as
U.S. authorities pursued more aggressive
anti-immigrant measures, migrants found
themselves caught between the economic
interests of competing governments. The
fruits of their labor were needed in both plac-
es, and yet neither country made them feel
welcome.
Ana Raquel Minian explores this unique
chapter in the history of Mexican migra-
tion. draws on private
letters, songs, and oral testimony to rec-
reate the experience of circular migration,
which reshaped communities in the United
States and Mexico. AX^hile migrants could
earn for themselves and their families in
the U .Sthey needed to return to Mexico
to reconnect with their homes periodically.
Despite crossing the border many times,
they managed to belong to communities on
both sides of it. Ironically, the U.S. immigra-
tion crackdoxvn of the mid-1980s disrupted
these flows, forcing many migrants to remain
north of the border permanently for fear of
not being able to return to work. For them,
the United States became knovs/n as the
d oro---the cage of gold.
Uncl z zisirrTe7z1:ed tells the story of
Mexicans who have been used and abused
by the broader economic and political
policies of Mexico and the United States. |

Millions crossed into the United States to find work that would help them survive as well as sustain their families in Mexico. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. But as U.S. authorities pursued more aggressive anti-immigrant measures, migrants found themselves caught between the economic interests of competing governments. The fruits of their labor were needed in both places, and yet neither country made them feel welcome. Ana Raquel Minian explores this unique chapter in the history of Mexican migration. Undocumented Lives draws on private letters, songs, and oral testimony to recreate the experience of circular migration, which reshaped communities in the United States and Mexico. While migrants could earn for themselves and their families in the U.S., they needed to return to Mexico to reconnect with their homes periodically. Despite crossing the border many times, they managed to belong to communities on both sides of it. Ironically, the U.S. immigration crackdown of the mid-1980s disrupted these flows, forcing many migrants to remain north of the border permanently for fear of not being able to return to work. For them, the United States became known as the jaula de oro...the cage of gold. Undocumented Lives tells the story of Mexicans who have been used and abused by the broader economic and political policies of Mexico and the United States....
