About this book

This book describes and analyzes migration of individuals from San Cosme Mazatecochco in central Mexico to a new United States community in New Jersey. Based on four decades of anthropological research in Mazatecochco and among migrants in New Jersey Rothstein traces the causes and consequences of migration and who returned home, why, and how return migrants reintegrated back into their homeland.

Reviews

“This book describes and analyzes migration patterns between San Cosme Mazatecochco in central Mexico and a community in the U.S. state of New Jersey. … Mexicans on the Move: Migration and Return in Rural Mexico is a short book and a quick read that provides a good overview of emigration and return from a non-traditional community in Mexico. Scholars interested Mexico-U.S. migration or return migration in general will find it stimulating.” (Claudia Masferrer, Canadian Studies in Population, Vol. 44 (1-2), 2017)
