From South Texas to the Nation: The Exploitation of Mexican Labor in the Twentieth Century - The David J. Weber Series in the New Borderlands History
John Weber
Reinterprets the United States' record on human and labour rights. This important book illuminates the way in which South Texas pioneered the low-wage, insecure, migration-dependent labor system on which so many industries continue to depend.
Commendation Quotes: This is an absolutely terrific work that is clearly written, thoroughly researched, and sweeping in its chronological scope. The story Weber tells will be relevant to contemporary debates about the nature of immigration and low-wage labor markets. "From South Texas to the Nation" will surely join a growing list of books that move these issues from the fringes to the center of our understanding of the evolution of race and labor relations in the Southwest.--Alex Lichtenstein, Indiana University Commendation Quotes: "John Weber masterfully situates the state as a tool supporting agricultural businesses and social domination by Anglo elites in SouthTexas. This book providesinnovative insights to American labor history and our understanding of the modern state.--Raul A. Ramos, University of Houston "Marc Notes: Includes bibliographical references and index.
