Robert Courtney Smith's groundbreaking study sheds new light on transnationalism, vividly illustrating how immigrants move back and forth between New York and their home village in Puebla with considerable ease, borrowing from and contributing to both communities as they forge new gender roles; new strategies of social mobility, race, and even adolescence; and new brands of politics and egalitarianism. Smith's deeply informed narrative describes how first-generation men who have lived in New York for decades become important political leaders in their home villages in Mexico. Smith explains how relations between immigrant men and women and their U.S.-born children are renegotiated in the context of migration to New York and temporary return visits to Mexico. He illustrates how U.S.-born youth keep their attachments to Mexico, and how changes in migration and assimilation have combined to transnationalize both U.S.-born adolescents and Mexican gangs between New York and Puebla. Mexican New York profoundly deepens our knowledge of immigration as a social process, convincingly showing how some immigrants live and function in two worlds at the same time and how transnationalization and assimilation are not opposing, but related, phenomena. 606 $aMexican Americans$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xSocial conditions 606 $aImmigrants$zNew York (State)$zNew York$xSocial conditions 606 $aTransnationalism 607 $aUnited States$xRelations$zMexico 607 $aMexico$xRelations$zUnited States 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aPuebla (Mexico : State)$xEmigration and immigration 607 $aNew York (N.Y.)$xEthnic relations 610 $aamerica. 610 $aamerican children. 610 $aanthropology sociology. 610 $aassimilation. 610 $achicano studies. 610 $ademographic studies. 610 $aegalitarianism. 610 $afirst generation immigrants. 610 $agender roles. 610 $aglobalization. 610 $ahome villages. 610 $aimmigrant experience. 610 $amexican american communities. 610 $amexican americans. 610 $amexican gangs. 610 $amexican immigrants. 610 $amexico. 610 $amodern history. 610 $anew york. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $apolitical leaders. 610 $apolitical lives. 610 $arace issues. 610 $asocial history. 610 $asocial mobility. 610 $atransnational lives. 610 $atransnationalism. 615 0$aMexican Americans$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aImmigrants$xSocial conditions. 615 0$aTransnationalism. 676 $a304.8/7471072/090511 700 $aSmith$b Robert C.$f1964-$01019992 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808360803321 996 $aMexican New York$92408296 997 $aUNINA
