Résumé
This book explores the complex and enduring legacy of the Bracero Program (1942-1964), a U. S.-Mexico labor agreement that brought millions of Mexican workers to the United States to fill labor shortages during and after World War II. While the program was heralded as a solution to wartime agricultural labor demands, it also became a symbol of exploitation, racialization, and systemic inequality. Through a deep historical analysis, this book examines the program's origins, implementation, impact, and eventual termination, highlighting how it shaped U.
S.-Mexico relations, U. S. immigration policy, and the social and cultural dynamics within Mexican-American communities. The narrative is enriched by personal stories of Braceros, which offer a human perspective on the program's economic promises and harsh realities. These stories reveal the deep emotional, familial, and social costs of migration, as well as the resilience and solidarity that workers formed in the face of exploitation.
The book also delves into the ongoing political, economic, and social debates that continue to be influenced by the Bracero Program, particularly in terms of labor rights, undocumented migration, and the racialization of Mexican migrants. By tracing the evolution of Mexican labor migration from the Bracero era to contemporary issues of immigration and migrant workers' rights, the book provides a comprehensive and critical examination of the historical forces that shaped modern labor systems in both Mexico and the United States.
In doing so, it underscores the persistent need for fair immigration policies and labor protections that acknowledge the vital contributions of migrant workers while addressing the injustices they continue to face. The legacy of the Bracero Program is thus integral to understanding the complexities of labor migration and the ongoing struggles for migrant justice today.
