Driving Mexican migration : constructing technologies and mythologies of mobility, 1940 to 1964
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- "Driving Mexican Migration" examines the technological and ideological foundations of transnational Mexican migration during the twentieth century. It focuses primarily on the bracero period, when Mexican guest laborers were recruited to work in US agriculture and industry from 1942 to 1964. This dissertation analyzes the post-World War II expansion of binational transportation and irrigation networks, industrialized agriculture, discourses of modernity and mobility, and rural Mexican emigration. This story of modern development explores the intersections of the infrastructures, imaginaries, and policies of mobility that both entrenched a culture of migration in western Mexico and led to the racialization and criminalization of Mexican mobility and migrancy in the United States.
