Description: "These 1990-92 letters are a rich treasure worthy of use by anthropologists, sociologists, political scientists, and historians; the usual methodological objections about a small, selective, and literate sample should be bracketed here. Separate sections focus on the US arrival, life back home, love letters, and sections devoted to a few specific groups. All letters appear in Spanish with facing-page English translations"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
Notes: English and Spanish.
