Castaneda, a foreign minister for Mexico during the Bush administration, illuminates the many and complex issues confronting the U.S./Mexico immigration situation. The book is very readable, though at times a bit heavy on statistics. He does a good job of presenting the problem and then discussing the reasons for it (from both sides) and possible solutions (again for both sides)--some which have been tried and some proposed. He gives the political background and climate as well. He was, I thought, very kind to President Bush and complimentary to Condolezza Rice and Colin Powell. He's supportive of President Vicente Foxes position, but always saw the other side and explained why the U.S. or Mexico acted as they did. I'd recommend this book to anyone striving to understand the U.S./Mexican immigration issues. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
From the massive nationwide rally in support of immigrant rights in May 2006 to protests against the increasingly frequent immigration raids across the country, the public debate on immigration reform has largely centered on Mexican immigrants. Yet, in the United States, we rarely hear the Mexican perspective on the issue. In "portraits that defy American stereotypes of who is a Mexican immigrant" (Booklist), former Mexican foreign minister and eminent scholar Jorge G. Castañeda describes just who makes up the newest generation of immigrants from Mexico, why they have chosen to live in the United States, where they work, and what they ultimately hope to achieve. Drawing on his wide-ranging experience, Casteñeda examines the century-long historical background behind the labor exchange between Mexico and the United States, while offering an insider's account of the official conversations and secret negotiations between the two countries in recent years. Both authoritative and timely, Ex Mex is essential reading for all who want to make sense of the complex issue of immigration. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
