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. 606 $aMexicans$zUnited States$vCase studies 606 $aStructural adjustment (Economic policy)$zMexico$zMonterrey 606 $aMexicans$zTexas$zHouston 607 $aUnited States$xEmigration and immigration$xEconomic aspects$vCase studies 607 $aMonterrey (Mexico)$xEconomic conditions 607 $aMonterrey (Mexico)$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aHouston (Tex.)$xEmigration and immigration 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aMexicans 615 0$aStructural adjustment (Economic policy) 615 0$aMexicans 676 $a973.00468/72 700 $aHernandez-Leon$b Ruben$01053626 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456833703321 996 $aMetropolitan migrants$92485633 997 $aUNINA
