Millions of Mexican men crossed into the United States to find work. They took low-level positions that few Americans wanted and sent money back to communities that depended on their support. They periodically returned to Mexico, living their lives in both countries. After 1986, however, US authorities disrupted this back-and-forth movement by strengthening border controls. Many Mexican men chose to remain in the United States permanently for fear of not being able to come back north if they returned to Mexico. For them, the United States became a \u003ci\u003ejaula de oro\u003c\/i\u003e--a cage of gold. \u003ci\u003eUndocumented Lives\u003c\/i\u003e tells the story of Mexican migrants who were compelled to bring their families across the border and raise a generation of undocumented children.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMinian, Ana Raquel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Ana Raquel Minian is Associate Professor of History and of Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity at Stanford University.","brand":"Harvard University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50634952114450,"sku":"9780674244832","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_147767f9-3032-4e6a-8282-1b304cd70764.jpg?v=1732825899","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/undocumented-lives-the-untold-story-of-mexican-migration-9780674244832","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
