It traces five decades of migration to Los Angeles in order to delineate migration patterns, community formation in Los Angeles, and the emergence of transnational identities of the first and second generations of Yal疝ag Zapotecs in the United States, exploring why these immigrants and their descendents now think of themselves as Mexican, Mexican Indian immigrants, Oaxaques, and Latinos--identities they did not claim in Mexico. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBased on multi-site fieldwork conducted over a five-year period, Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez analyzes how and why Yal疝ag Zapotec identity and culture have been reconfigured in the United States, using such cultural practices as music, dance, and religious rituals as a lens to bring this dynamic process into focus. By illustrating the sociocultural, economic, and political practices that link immigrants in Los Angeles to those left behind, the book documents how transnational migration has reflected, shaped, and transformed these practices in both their place of origin and immigration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0813560705\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780813560700\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rutgers University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/06\/2013\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 268\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.60d","brand":"Adriana Cruz-Manjarrez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059827831039,"sku":"9780813560700","price":41.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7e9f5e6d-f7dd-409a-8de4-3f1020461576.jpg?v=1685060559","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/zapotecs-on-the-move-adriana-cruz-manjarrez-9780813560700","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
