Description
"Making Michigan Home will have a tremendous impact. The author has found a glaring gap in the literature. No one has taken an in-depth look at the leisure practices of Mexicanos in the Midwest. The author also articulates the involvement of Mexicanos in Michigan's labor movement while telling the broader story of how Mexicanos in Michigan created their own identity. I am very excited about this book." --Delia Fernandez-Jones, author of Making the MexiRican City: Mexican and Puerto Rican Migration, Activism, and Placemaking in Grand Rapids, Michigan
