| Description: |
As the first step in exploring this social reality, Braceros and Border Crossers looks at the experience of migrating, of going north. It is primarily an effort to see the experience historically, in terms of the personal memories of people who participated in the largest organized wave of migration, the bracero program, in which Mexicans were recruited to work as farm and railroad workers from 1941 to 1964. |
