Using national and local archives in Mexico, historian Alberto García uncovers previously unexamined political factors that shaped the direction of the program, including how officials administered the bracero selection process and what motivated campesinos from central states to migrate. Notably, García's book reveals how and why the Mexican government's delegation of Bracero Program–related responsibilities, the powerful influence of conservative Catholic opposition groups in central Mexico, and the failures of the revolution's agrarian reform all profoundly influenced the program's administration and individuals' decisions to migrate as braceros.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 229mmItem Length: 152mmItem Width: 18mmItem Weight: 363gAuthor: Alberto GarcíaGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Social Sciences, HistoryEdition: First EditionType: HumanitiesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
