Based on a ten-year, on-the-ground study of one working-class neighborhood in Monterrey, Mexico's industrial powerhouse and third-largest city, Metropolitan Migrants explores the ways in which Mexico's economic restructuring and the industrial modernization of the past three decades have pushed a new flow of migrants toward cities such as Houston, Texas, the global capital of the oil industry. Weaving together rich details of everyday life with a lucid analysis of Mexico's political economy, Rubén Hernández-León deftly traces the effects of restructuring on the lives of the working class, from the national level to the kitchen table.MexicansUnited StatesCase studiesStructural adjustment (Economic policy)MexicoMonterreyMexicansTexasHoustonUnited StatesEmigration and immigrationEconomic aspectsCase studiesMonterrey (Mexico)Economic conditionsMonterrey (Mexico)Emigration and immigrationHouston (Tex.)Emigration and immigrationamerican immigration.border crossing.city life.crowded cities.economics.houston.immigration and emigration.industrial modernization.industrialization.international migration.mexican immigrants.mexican migrants.mexico.migration industry.migration.monterrey.oil industry.political economy.skilled urban workers.social community.social networks.social organization.sociology.texas.united states of america.urban industrial development.working class.MexicansStructural adjustment (Economic policy)Mexicans973.00468/72Hernandez-Leon Ruben1504315MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780639003321Metropolitan migrants3733257UNINA
