Summary

Migration and Remittances from Mexico: Trends, Impacts, and New Challenges, edited by Alfredo Cuecuecha and Carla Pederzini, is an indispensable resource for Mexico-US migration studies. It includes a review of the most important available databases for the study of migration from Mexico and Latin America to the US. The volume's contributors are specialized migration researchers trained in a broad variety of fields, including economics, sociology, demography, and political science in both Mexico and the United States. This range of backgrounds helps provide an essential multidisciplinary perspective from both sides of the border.
