Auteur de romans policiers, François Combe se rend en compagnie de Kay, sa secrétaire, au Cielito Lindo, établissement des quartiers chauds de Nogales, la ville frontière entre le Mexique et les USA, afin de s'y "documenter" auprès de Raquel, une jeune prostituée. Ils tombent sur Jed Peterson, un ami du romancier, qui se montre très intéressé par la jeune fille. La même nuit, cette dernière est sauvagement assassinée. Qui a tué ? François Combe, qui fait profession du meurtre et des meurtriers ? Jed Peterson, le dernier à avoir été en contact avec la victime ? Les voilà tous deux dans le collimateur de la police, en tête des suspects. Fasciné tant par le crime que par la misère, le romancier charge Estrellita, la petite servante mexicaine de la famille, de devenir ses yeux et ses oreilles au cœur des quartiers pauvres. Quand une deuxième prostituée est retrouvée massacrée à coups de poignard dans le désert, l'étau se resserre sur Jed, que tout désigne comme le coupable idéal. Qu'à cela ne tienne, François Combe prouvera l'innocence de son ami : il s'enfonce accompagné d'Estrellita dans l'enfer des bas-fonds mexicains à la recherche de la vérité. Les murs entre richesse et pauvreté sont faits pour être franchis. Mais l'herbe est toujours plus rouge de l'autre côté de la frontière... Librement inspiré du séjour que l'écrivain Georges Simenon effectua en 1948 dans la Santa Cruz Valley, terrain de jeu des riches et des puissants, ce thriller reflète avec brio l'atmosphère tendue et inégalitaire qui y régnait.

Most labor and migration studies classify migrants with limited formal education or credentials as "unskilled." Despite the value of migrants' work experiences and the substantial technical and interpersonal skills developed throughout their lives, the labor-market contributions of these migrants are often overlooked and their mobility pathways poorly understood. Skills of the "Unskilled" reports the findings of a five-year study that draws on research including interviews with 320 Mexican migrants and return migrants in North Carolina and Guanajuato, Mexico. The authors uncover these migrants' lifelong human capital and identify mobility pathways associated with the acquisition and transfer of skills across the migratory circuit, including reskilling, occupational mobility, job jumping, and entrepreneurship.

The kings of Spain forbade foreigners and other 'undesirables' to immigrate to Spanish America. They saw aliens as threatening imperial, religious and mercantile security, and it might therefore be assumed that the Spaniards were xenophobic and intolerant. Dr Nunn's study shows that statutes tell only part of the story. In the years 1700-60 some 3 per cent of the foreign-born in Mexico were non-Spaniards who had entered the colony illegally. Who were these people, where did they come from, and what were their motives? In answering these questions, Dr Nunn demonstrates how illegal immigrants often escaped official detection and how even those known to the authorities were usually allowed to remain and make new lives for themselves. Neither Protestant nor Jew went to the stake in eighteenth-century Mexico. Harassment was more likely to come from officials seeking funds for an impecunious government than from the Inquisition.

This book provides a comprehensive portrait of the experience of poverty among Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in the US. Given that these two groups experience some of the highest rates of poverty of any ethnicity and that it persists even while a majority work and reside in dual parent households, it becomes imperative that we explore a multitude of related factors. This book offers a systematic empirical analysis of these groups in relation to other ethnic groups, explores the individual and contextual factors associated with the determination of poverty via the use of logistic and multi-level models, details the historical context associated with Mexican immigrants, and discusses the major policies that have impacted them. It discusses the newest destinations of Mexican immigrants and also provides a discussion of undocumented migrants. Further, it details the current measure of poverty in the United States and offers a number of alternatives for modeling and measuring it.
