Summary

"In Shadowed Lives Leo Chaves provides a telling description and analysis of the lives of undocumented workers in southern California, particularly San Diego County. The analysis goes beyond their lives to the antecedent conditions and needs that have caused many thousands of workers to risk arrest and worse as they cross the border between Mexico and the United States."--Foreword
