Description

The only book length study devoted to the railroad bracero program, and the only one to provide such a clear picture othe internal workins of the program in Mexico. Mining a wealth of materials seldom used by investigators of the bracero program, Barbara Driscoll examines the program's historical antecedents, and the national and international factors and negotiations that led to its creation. She then explores, in comprehensive detail, the program's operations in both countries as well as its singular place in the history of U.S.-Mexican relations.
