Mexicans in Alaska enriches the study of migration through its lucid ethnography and theorizing. . . . By exploring the different dimensions of mobility across the continent in multigenerational networks, Mexicans in Alaska brings a new understanding to the social and material relations that extend between localities, not nations. An engaging ethnography. -Lynn Stephen, Distinguished Professor of Arts and Sciences and professor of anthropology at the University of Oregon -- Lynn Stephen A solid contribution to social science scholarship. Its inclusion of three generations of migrants provides a nice depth of time not often found in ethnographic scholarship, and its focus on Alaska as part of 'greater Mexico' is a novel and important contribution to the scholarship on migration in the United States. -Ruth Gomberg-Munoz, associate professor of anthropology at Loyola University Chicago -- Ruth Gomberg-Munoz Mexicans in Alaska is a comprehensive and humane consideration of the desirable qualities and underestimated ingenuity and rigors informing the mobility and place-making of Mexican people in Alaska and Acuitzio del Canje, pointing to the undervalued diversity from within shaping Mexican immigrant and Mexican American family investments and life throughout the United States and its history. -Ana E. Rosas, Alaska Journal of Anthropology -- Ana E. Rosas * Alaska Journal of Anthropology *
