Summary	Weeks (Latin American studies at the U. of North Carolina at Charlotte) and Weeks (geography at San Diego State U.) present this analysis of the causes and effects of Latin American migration to the US. This book focuses on the Southwestern States and California, a region which has been engaged in a symbiotic relationship with Latin American migrants for a very long time. The many factors at play in this issue are covered here in this book appealing to those studying politics and Latin American studies.
