For those that don't know what the Grand Circle means, you aren't alone. It is, in a nutshell, one of the "must do" vacation destinations in North America.

Автор: Luis F. B. Plascencia, Gloria H. Cuadraz Название: Mexican Workers and the Making of Arizona ISBN: 0816531862 ISBN-13(EAN): 9780816531868 Издательство: Mare Nostrum (Eurospan) Рейтинг: Цена: 49890.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: On any given day in Arizona, residents encounter a common circumstance: thousands of Mexican-descent workers labor each day to make living in urban and rural areas possible. The majority of such workers are largely invisible. Their work as caretakers of children and the elderly, dishwashers or cooks in restaurants, hotel housekeeping staff, and in many other settings remains in the shadows of an economy dependent on their labor. Mexican Workers and the Making of Arizona centers on the production of an elastic supply of labor, revealing how this long-standing approach to the building of Arizona obscures important power relations and the role of the state in aiding the position of corporations vis-à-vis labor in the production of wealth. Building on recent scholarship about Chicanas/os and others, the volume insightfully describes how U.S. employers such as railroads, mines, and agriculture fostered the recruitment of Mexican labor, thus ensuring the presence of a surplus labor pool that expands and contracts to accommodate production and profit goals. Taking a longer perspective, the volume's contributors delve into examples of migration and settlement of the Salt River Valley; the mobilization and immobilization of cotton workers in the 1920s; miners and their challenge to a dual wage in Miami, Arizona; Mexican American women workers in midcentury Phoenix; the 1980s Morenci copper miners' strike and Chicana mobilization; Arizona's industrial and agribusiness demands for Mexican contract labor; and the labor rights violations of construction workers today. This volume fills an important vacuum in our understanding of Mexicans and Mexican Americans in the Southwest by turning the scholarly gaze to Arizona, which has had a long-standing impact on national policy and politics.
In Border Citizens, historian Eric V. Meeks explores how the racial classification and identities of the diverse indigenous, mestizo, and Euro-American residents of Arizona’s borderlands evolved as the region was politically and economically incorporated into the United States. First published in 2007, the book examines the complex relationship between racial subordination and resistance over the course of a century. On the one hand, Meeks links the construction of multiple racial categories to the process of nation-state building and capitalist integration. On the other, he explores how the region’s diverse communities altered the blueprint drawn up by government officials and members of the Anglo majority for their assimilation or exclusion while redefining citizenship and national belonging.
The revised edition of this highly praised and influential study features dozens of new images, an introductory essay by historian Patricia Nelson Limerick, and a chapter-length afterword by the author. In his afterword, Meeks details and contextualizes Arizona’s aggressive response to undocumented immigration and ethnic studies in the decade after Border Citizens was first published, demonstrating that the broad-based movement against these measures had ramifications well beyond Arizona. He also revisits the Yaqui and Tohono O’odham nations on both sides of the Sonora-Arizona border, focusing on their efforts to retain, extend, and enrich their connections to one another in the face of increasingly stringent border enforcement.
