Description: "Ethnography of Tetla, the sending community (pop. 505), precedes study of Pachuca, the receiving community. Survey of 125 Pachuca households in neighborhoods which supply laborers to local mines provides information on household composition, health status, and quality of life. Finds a high percentage of migrants from Tetla in these neighborhoods, and compares living conditions before and after migration"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 57.
