Book ID/图书代码： 12560504B06713

English Summary/英文概要： The U.S.-Mexican border is one of the most permeable boundaries in the world, breached daily by Mexicans in search of work. Thousands die crossing the line and those who reach "the other side" are branded illegals, undocumented and unprotected. Crossing Over puts a human face on the phenomenon, following the exodus of the Ch vez clan, an extended Mexican family who lost three sons in a tragic border accident. Martinez follows the migrants’progress from their small southern Mexican town of Cher n to California, Wisconsin, and Missouri where far from joining the melting pot, Martinez argues, the seven million migrants in the U.S. are creating a new culture that will alter both Mexico and the United States as the two countries come increasingly to resemble each other.
