Migration-trust networks : social cohesion in Mexican US-bound emigration / Nadia Yamel Flores-Yeffal. - 1st ed. - College Station : Texas A & M University Press, 2013. - xxi, 200 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm
Includes bibliographical references (pages 187-194) and index.
In an important new application of sociological theories, Nadia Y. Flores-Yeffal offers fresh insights into the ways in which social networks function among immigrants who arrive in the United States from Mexico without legal documentation. She asks and examines important questions about the commonalities and differences in networks for this group compared with other immigrants, and she identifies "trust" as a major component of networking among those who have little if any legal protection. Revealing the complexities behind social networks of international migration, Migration-Trust Networks: Social Cohesion in Mexican US-Bound Emigration provides an empirical and theoretical analysis of how social networks of international migration operate in the transnational context. Further, the book clarifies how networking creates chain migration effects observable throughout history.
