 Provided.\n\nAbout the Book\nIlluminating the dark side of economic 
 globalization, this book gives a rare insider's view of the migrant 
 farmworkers' binational circuit that stretches from the west central Mexico 
 countryside to central California. Over the course of ten years, Ann 
 Aurelia López conducted a series of intimate interviews with farmworkers 
 and their families along the migrant circuit. She deftly weaves their 
 voices together with up-to-date research to portray a world hidden from 
 most Americans-a world of inescapable poverty that has worsened 
 considerably since NAFTA was implemented in 1994. In fact, today it has 
 become nearly impossible for rural communities in Mexico to continue to 
 farm the land sustainably, leaving few survival options except the perilous 
 border crossing to the United States.\n\nAbout The Author\nAnn Aurelia 
 López received a Ph.D. from the University of California, Santa Cruz. She 
 recently completed a President's Postdoctoral fellowship at the University 
 of California, Berkeley. She has a long history of teaching Environmental 
 Science, Ecology and Botany courses in the Department of Biology at San 
 Jose City College. She is currently a Research Associate at the Center for 
 Agroecology and Sustainable Food Systems at the University of California, 
 Santa Cruz, and is in the process of establishing a non-profit organization 
 designed to improve the lives of California farmworkers and their families 
 in Mexico.\nFor more on the book go to:
